For the family event, can you ask ahead if there's a quiet place you can go if you start feeling overloaded? When I went to a family funeral, they also arranged not to have background music to reduce sensory input a bit. Other than that, I just took my pain meds preventively, excused myself when I got overwhelmed, and planned to have a few bad days afterwards.
