Scared of Camp

I'm supposed to go to a camp really soon and I'm not able to attend

I'm scared that the reason that I can't attend is invalid and a bad reason because it's about my mental health

A family member recently passed away and it's made my depression worse and I'm not sure if I can cope being away from home while having to do hard activities

I'd also have to bunk with people I've never met before and I don't really have friends going to the camp as well

The ticket for my flight has already been paid and I was initially excited to go but things have taken a turn for me and I really can't go

I feel guilty that they paid $500+ for a ticket that is going to waste but I emailed them saying I can't go and that my parents would like to know if a payment is needed (The ticket is non refundable)

I just feel like I'm letting everyone down and that I'm only making things harder for everyone and that the reason I can't go isn't good enough

i am sorry about your fami,y member, Grief can take you by surprise and make you not want to go away and meet new people. Would you be able to get a note from your doctor that would allow you to get a refund or partial refund.?

you are not letting people down you are grieving.
we are listening.
