God Bomb--a Place For Prayers/positive Vibes

[not_nadine]

I had a horrible time when my mom passed, Claire. I could not contain myself. I jumped right in the hospital bed with her. I never thought that I could touch a dead person. But that's my mom! I was telling her to go find everyone she lost, find my lost puppies, find her mom... and she was dead in the bed with a towel holding here head up.
Then messed up her hair after the funeral people fixed it.

Then I had to hold my hands behind my back for the actual funeral.

You just gotta get through it. It's so hard. Wishing you all the best, love and peace.

You are in shock. It will pass.

(((Claire-Bear))) like the others have said, it is a personal decision, no right or wrong choice--just do what your heart tells you.
(Open casket, with your loved one at home for a certain time period is normal here and so it's nothing to have children in and out and playing around in the days before burial... it seems to help people with acceptance initially.)

I wish I could do something practical to help you feel better, I am so sorry you are hurting. Love and hugs to you.

Please say a prayer. My mum died this morning, unexpectedly at 2.00am. It's 1.06 pm here. Keep me and my sister in your prayers. And my step-dad. And my boy. I've come on here to tell you i won't be on alot for next few days. I will say a prayer for all those in need on here. (((((The Board))))))

Thoughts and prayers, mustangclaire. (((((mustangclaire, family, friends and loved ones)))))

Maybe a happy picture of your mom in your head would carry you through. But, as everyone has said its best your choice and only yours.

My mom went on vacation and came home in a box. I chose not to view, have never regretted. I also chose to remember my second dad as he was before, have never regretted that decision either. Praying for you and yours at mass today.

I just got back from the hospital. I have bronchitis it seems. I had a horrible night last night, and almost called the ambulance.

I how I know how that feels, at least once a year. Put you on some good stuff? Good stuff is essential. Hope you feel better soon.

The doctor put me on 2 antibiotics, and gave me an inhaler since he could hear wheezing. I start the pills today since they gave me a dose of them at the ER.
The inhaler is helping a lot to get all that gunk out of me, and I am breathing better. Can't sleep, but breathing better.
Thanks for the well wishes.

Thanks jojo, and Tina. I've slept very little, but I did just lay there, and rest, and watch tv.

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.

For me, the answer is always a big NOPE. I'd rather remember women how they looked in life.
