Claire, I'm so very, very sorry to hear about your mother. Nothing will make it easier but time. Be gentle with your heart, hug your loved ones, and come back when you can.

Thanks everyone again. Getting through it. My step dad isn't so good with the "emotion" bits so my sister and i have done all the clothes bagging, paperwork going through, choosing an outfit for the coffin etc. Whilst he does the bank, getting the car swapped over, cancelling appointments that she had. We're getting stuff done. Have to say i find bed time the worst. I woke at 1.00am last night. Came downstairs. Cried so hard i threw up. Fell asleep on the sofa at 4.... You all know what it's like. Hopefully we can get the death certificate tomorrow now autopsy has been done. Which means we can book the funeral (humanist, as she wanted). I have a hard decision to make though. I will have the opportunity to see her, of course. I really really don't know whether to or not. My sister saw her at the hospital of course, when she'd died. She said she looked at peace. I remember going to see my gramps, and wishing i hadn't. But will i regret not saying goodbye? What are other folks thoughts? I just don't know. Sorry for rambling and on your monumental day too.

You need to talk these things through, it's important. I'm so grateful you have loved ones around you. Some say it's important to see someone one last time if you have the opportunity-that it is necessary for closure. Ultimately, it's completely up to you and what you can deal with. Whatever you decide, I hope you have peace. I'm so sorry for your pain, Claire-my prayers are with you.

I am so sorry for your loss, my dear.

I lost my mother several years ago. She passed away peacefully at home, in her sleep at the age of 91. It was sudden and unexpected as she only had a slight cold that week. However while I do not regret seeing her at the funeral home, yours is a very personal decision to make. I can only say that it gave me great comfort. I hope that helps.
