Yes, I did have several bad days afterward. But we also had a long car trip and several days of family interaction.

I usually don't feel that bad in the moment, either. Not sure if adrenaline keeps
me going or what. But you can also plan to pace yourself -- take a few minutes out every hour no matter how you feel, for example.

I also found I had to weigh carefully how I wanted to spend my energy. If I go to the visitation, I probably won't have energy to eat supper with everyone, so which is more important to me? If you're up front with people about your limitations, most of them will at least try to help.
