Children need to understand life and death, but not like this-[hovering over the body and touching it].

I disagree. I took my daughters to see their grandma in her coffin when she died. They were young. A photo didn't mean anything to them. They asked where nanny had gone and I told them she had died. It wasn't until they said goodbye to her themselves, seeing her 'sleeping forever' in her coffin that they really understood she wasn't coming back. It's the parents choice whether they take the children to see the deceased relatives. My daughters are grown up now and are not traumatised by the viewing. It helped them to accept nanny was gone.

I remember being forced to go and see my Nan when I was young. She was green. I still remember the smell and it tortured my mind for weeks after, if not months.

Yeah.

There is not only just one way to deal with death.

It is an individual matter.

Sometime Grief won't let you go.

Until/Unless it happens to you, most people cannot 'get it'.

I 'get it' it very well.


It goes beyond comprehension or understanding.

I could not have said it better, myself. I agree, wholeheartedly.

Stripes really aren't the best choice for someone already looking bloated...

Another thing to add to my will.

I would not have taken my daughters to see their nan if that were the case. But my mum was green after she died. I will never ever forget it. An awful translucent sort of green.

That was scary.
