@@Grace-mh6dm I think that’s exactly what the mortician was thinking for us. He didn’t want the last image of my brother to be traumatic. He gave us the option to see him but was very cautionary about his condition. My brother lost control and crashed hard into a lake. He was submerged for several days before somebody found him. Not only was he in bad physical shape, he wasn’t even the same color. Luckily nobody needed to identify the body because he had identification on him. Even knowing what condition he was in is enough to have dark thoughts.

If Victor isn't my mortician I'm not dying. I really like what he said about emotional attachment. "The ones who are detached from the emotional side of it are not good at their job. You have to be connected to humanity to serve humanity." it reminds me of a quote from Law and Order Special Victims Unit "don't worry when you feel something...worry when you stop." Emotions sucks, but they're part of humanity. If you lack that part....it's time to be concerned. And when it comes to fear of death, for me personally, I'm not afraid of dying. I'm afraid of what's after. Like the fear of the unknown. Dying is easy. No need to be scared of that. But what comes next? Hmm.

@prettyhalo2girl Рік тому
I am afraid of ceasing to exist but I am not religious. I like to believe in the paranormal and existing as energy but still conscious but also having the choice to reincarnate and try life again OR stay energy in the vase universe/dimension. Here is how I look at it. Am I currently able to remember or acknowledge my existence before I was born? No. So, if there is no afterlife/nothing after. I will not be scared, anxious, or worried about not existing because there will be nothing. No thoughts. No Me. Just like it was before I was born. And if there is something after, Fun! We get to experience that. We may not be exactly who we are in this life but our souls/our essence will live on in a different form. "The law of conservation of energy is a physical law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed but may be changed from one form to another. " We are engery. That helps me. Hopefully it helps someone else!

At my embalming clinical this semester I was touched by the sign hanging above the door in the office, "We are doing what others can't, as well as don't want to have to do" I have that morbid curiosity like Breyonce appears to have. I feel that my willingness to see the ugliness that death can have makes me, someone who has no emotionally laden ties to the deceased in that moment, can provide someone who is experiencing grief with a dignifying and restful body image of their loved one. There actually are some embalmers who have chosen to embalm and prepare their own loved ones, but I highly doubt I could do so for my own close loved ones, I'd be too grief-stricken. I also think that it's helped me to slowly come to terms with own mortality. I've decided that making quality memories and finding/maintaining your happiness is most important in life and just holding on to the roller-coaster as it goes along. "Maybe I should hold with care but my hands are too busy in the air...." ❤
@ashleywhitefield7187 Рік тому
@OT7STAN I can't possibly imagine the pain you must be feeling. I've always told myself that losing a significant other to death would be enough to break me mentally. It gave me some hope to learn that aftercare is a very seldom mentioned aspect of funeral service. Each funeral home differs, but they should offer various services dedicated to checking in on you, providing you with memorial service options for later dates, support groups, reading materials about grief, and contact info for mental health services . What really set me at ease was that in mental healthcare there is normal grief counseling and then theres grief therapy for those of us experiencing grief thats quite complicated. Reach out to your resources to find yourself that very therapy if you feel the need. Its there for you.

@VillainKinnie Рік тому
glad to hear that you were able to have that closure. i think many people are off-put by the idea of an open casket funeral because humans are naturally disturbed by death. they dont want to acknowledge it in general, let alone when it comes to someone they care about, so they choose to avoid it seeing it. what they dont realize is that being able to see a loved one in that condition, when theyve been all cleaned up and well prepared, has the potential to replace unpleasant near-end-of-life memories of said person slowly fading away (in the case of natural death, like old age or disease) with one peaceful final memory. that way you dont have to feel like youre being haunted by the final image of that loved being that of someone you dont recognize. its like having something reclaimed.

This career is a calling. And so so important. The care these people provide the living who mourn and all the respect they give the deceased. My father died a few months ago after losing his battle with addiction and all the help we got with his arrangements. The compassion they gave my family when we were all in very different grieving spaces was so beautiful. My mother was able to remember her husband as the man he was at his best because of them. And I’ll forever be grateful for that.

It would be a nice juxtaposition to do a round two featuring Caitlin Doughty (Ask A Mortician), and other eco-morticians. There's a pretty fast growing movement of death care that's focused on encouraging family to be more involved, and looking into different alternate solutions to standard funeral practices.

it’s not the same as a person of course, but i watched my dog’s body sit in the garage for two days after she passed. decomposition absolutely goes quicker than you would think and trust me you do not want to see anyone you love change in that way. it’s absolutely a gift that these morticians give to the deceased’s loved once’s to preserve and “bring back” the original look of someone who’s died, and it’s such bs that some characterize the profession as weird or creepy

I’m so thankful for morticians. My sister passed a month ago and I’m still grieving a bit. They tried their best with the makeup, though my sister looked a little bit grey on her cheeks, which didn’t help the overwhelming denial I was experiencing at the time- I kept having thoughts that she wasn’t actually dead- and that there was just a hyper realistic wax figure in her place I dearly dearly miss her- as her little sister, she was my idol. She was successful, thoroughly beautiful (inside and out), and it was incredibly difficult to accept her death and how she died. A couple days later I kept thinking about how the morticians will fix her up- make her look like she was just sleeping, gosh. It feels so unreal… If there’s an afterlife, I shall reunite with my sister.. one day in the future.

I’ve been working at my local funeral home for nearly a year now as the housekeeper. I’ve gotten multiple raises & was offered to go from part-time to full-time. Needless to say, I love my work family & it’s safe to say they love me! I have always wanted to be a Last Responder, but never knew where to start, because I thought it wouldn’t be a practical job for me because I deal with mental illnesses daily and I used to not be able to even get out of bed. However, working around death put some life back into me & my passion to become a mortician had been reignited when my cousin had passed back in October. My coworkers are extremely supportive of me wanting to go to mortuary school & have been teaching me a lot. I’m more comfortable with talking to people now - in fact, I love meeting new people! - and I have more control of my mental health. Now, I just to have to stay focused on not talking myself out of going to mortuary school because backing out of things I desperately want is a toxic trait of mine🥴 I’m just glad I’ve finally figured out what I’m on this earth for at such a young age because I never thought I’d be successful after I dropped out of college a few years ago. I would’ve been a college junior had I stayed, but my heart wasn’t in it. I can tell my heart is in the funeral business because I want to be able to give families a final, beautiful viewing of their loved ones no matter the cause of death.

@moseschrute 4 місяці тому
Same- this year I had 2 deaths close to me, my MIL (80) and my Aunt (69). My Aunt was taken off of life support and seeing her intubated was so hard and she wasn’t herself. She was very meticulous about her appearance and she looked so beautiful at her viewing, hair and nails done perfectly just like she would have wanted. My Mother in Law died suddenly alone after collapsing. She was taken to the Medical Examiner’s office so couldn’t be embalmed until Day 3 and I think that made a difference. Mortuary makeup couldn’t cover the marks on her face from hitting the kitchen counter as she fell, she looked more swollen than usual and she had a pained expression on her face. It also didn’t help that her siblings kept wanting to delay her funeral until they could get there so her viewing was 8 days after she died when we put our foot down that we wouldn’t accomodate any more delays. They did the best they could but we weren’t happy with how she looked, she looked better and more “her” when I identified her body on Day 2.
@rosella5358 3 місяці тому
@moseschrute It's interesting how something as simple as a face can change how people feel after a death. I never met my grandparents on my dad's side. I only knew of my grandma through photographs. She looked like a thinner, more tired version of me with a slightly bigger forehead and greener eyes. I did meet her mother, my Nona. Nona loved to dance, wear cute dresses, and eat delicious foods. She had a twinkle in her eyes when she saw her great grandkids and had a picture of us with our names on her fridge. The last time I saw her alive, she was dying of brain cancer and a stroke had left her shriveled and paralyzed in a wheelchair. The twinkle in her eyes was gone. My parent told me she wanted to die. I made a wish that she'd be happy. I dream of her, happy and dancing and wearing her pretty dress. I didn't see her body when she finally passed. I feel like she understands. I want to remember her as the happy Italian great grandma who loved salami and had a twinkle in her eyes when we came to visit.

You know it's there and you learn to avoid it, but occasionally you still fall in.

If they lived a long and full life its easier to get pass that sadness and celebrate their life. For someone that died before getting to that elderly age is a lot harder.

@butasimpleidiotwizard Рік тому
I think it depends on how you define grief, I don't think missing a person goes away, but I don't think missing someone is always grief. Once you've accepted that they're gone and the loss no longer consumes your thoughts, when you can think about them without feeling anger that they're gone, then you've moved on. The loss will stay with you but the grief will subside, eventually. There's no easy way to predict how long it will take, I grieved for 3 years for a not quite friend from highschool I hadn't spoken to in 2 years and hadn't really been friends with since 7th grade, but she died suddenly and unexpectedly 6 days after her 18th birthday, and the pain I felt over the unfairness of that stuck inside of me for years afterwards. Sometimes it just does. The sadness will stay, missing them will stay, but the grief will subside eventually.
@mediumjimmy Рік тому
@@butasimpleidiotwizardI like how you phrased that. Sometimes part of grief is missing someone but missing someone is not *always* grief. They can overlap but they don’t have to. There are some people in my life I lost where sometimes something will remind me of them and I miss them, but it’s not like trudging a ton of painful feelings because I know they lived a good long life. When it’s someone who maybe didn’t have the longest or best life, missing them can feel different at least for me it does. Because you’re not just grieving the person you’re grieving what could have been, the unfairness. When I miss someone who didn’t get to live their life the way they would have wanted that one’s a lot harder.
@DarknessLiesWithin Рік тому
@@AnthonyPadilla I think it's the difference between "mourning" and "grief!" The mourning period is the hardest imo and once you're through that, it's grief. At least for me in my experience. It's also like how they talk about the stages of grief but it isn't a linear process. You go through each one randomly and at your own pace. Some you don't feel at all. Like I don't think I really did the bargaining bit. My grief has mostly cycled through depression and anger. Not anger at my dad, just...the world and everything in it.

Anthony, I can totally relate to the present grieving vs the past. It’s because the day we learned of their death, we still knew them to be alive. The next day they’re gone and the past memories come forward, since their living is no longer the present. My mom passed away 4 years ago from a fatal heart attack. I requested to go up and see her before the ambulance took her away. This was my way of finding acceptance and peace from her passing. It is completely surreal. Seeing someone you love completely lifeless. The day before, my mom would’ve looked at me with loving eyes and interacted with me. After death, she was a statue of herself, not blinking or breathing. This may be too much for some people, but I had to see her in her final moments to familiarize myself with what happened to her. It helped me grieve.

It’s a very unique home with only 4 beds where we provide 24/7 free care to those in the last moments up to around 12 weeks of life. When someone dies at our home, we still talk to them- when we adjust the bed, when we wash them up and when they are removed by the funeral home. It’s all about dignity. We also walk them out to the hearse and say goodbye. They are part of our family and they deserve all of the love and respect we can give them. I feel like these morticians do the same and it would be an honor to have one of them in my town. ❤️
