I'm sorry if this post offends anyone or makes people uncomfortable. My grandma passed away a couple of months ago very suddenly. The funeral took place about 10 days after her passing, and in between her body was kept at a funeral parlour.
My Mum (it was her Mum who had passed) wanted to go and see her in the parlour, and I said I'd go with her to offer support, but nobody else in the family wanted to go which is understandable.
My Mum works in a job where she is used to seeing people dying on a regular basis, and she's generally quite a strong woman. I was nervous, but I'm glad I did it. My Grandma had passed peacefully in her sleep, and hadn't received any traumatic injuries. She had been 'embalmed' and she had been dressed smartly and her hair etc. taken care of, make-up applied, so she really just looked like she was sleeping, except a little 'different'.
In a way, it was comforting, but since then I've had bad nightmares about it on a regular basis.I dream about the coffin or just about her being alive. I think about it a lot and sometimes cannot get the image out of my head.
This may sound really babyish but if I'm alone at home and in the dark I get really creeped out.
Has anyone else experienced the same thing? I have never done that before and i'd like to know how I can stop thinking about it and perhaps the nightmares will go away. Thanks for any advice.
Put the internet to work for you.
