I want to give everyone a quick timeline so this makes sense
On September 5th I left for college 2 hours from home
On September 6th my great uncle passed away from a heart attack.
On September 7th my great aunt told my mom.
I got home for thanksgiving break on October 7th.
On October 8th I was told my GU had passed.
It is now October 9th and I’m supposed to go home in 2 days. But I don’t feel ready. I just found out my GU died and I’ve been away from my mom for a month.
The relief of seeing my mom and the loss of my loved one have made me feel extremely overwhelmed. I don’t feel like I’ll be fine to go to school like nothing happened in 2 days. I just want an extra day with my mom and a day to say goodbye.
The problem is if I ask for another day I know my mom will think I just don’t want to go back to school. To be fair I don’t want to go back. But I would never use my uncles death for personal gain. He was so important to me and I just can’t believe he’s gone.
Also my mom waited to tell me because I have separation anxiety so if I had found out one of my closest family members had died I would have had a mental breakdown. I wish I had known so I could have gone to his funeral, but that would have caused a large amount of issues as well. My great uncle was from my dads side of the family and I haven’t spoken to any of them, including my dad, for years due to the fact that they were all abusive. Except for my uncle.
How do I ask my mom for an extra day to grieve and get her to agree?
