But that's enough wallowing in self pity now.
Don't be silly! You're not wallowing in anything!
I can quite understand your predicament. You had the funeral to attend, distressing itself, then suffered this blackout. As xerx says, they can be extremely unpleasant and, in my case, very disorientating indeed. I blacked out at the age of 21. My Mum called the GP, he called an ambulance. I woke up the next morning in hospital, feeling like I had an axe in my skull. I had absolutely no idea who I was, where I was or what I was doing there. It was diagnosed as viral encephalitis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encephalitis) and I hope I never suffer from it again.
Enough about me, my point is that you had a very full plate that day, made fuller by this blackout which must have knocked you for 6. Upsetting for your son it may have been, but it was good that he was there to reassure and assist you.
You deserve a long break to recover!
