[quote=Anonymous]I was raised Catholic. I was traumatized at being forced to go "view" my mom's body after her sudden death when I was a teen. I think the idea, which my dad and grandparents kept repeating as they forced me, was that I "needed to know she was gone" and "have closure" and that it would "bring me peace." I already knew and understood she was gone. I didn't want to see her that way. I hate that I can still see that imnage in my mind of my mom. I don't go to "viewings" anymore and don't believe they actually bring any kind of closure or fulfil any usefull, psychologically healthy function to the ones who loved the deceased. I do think there is a grotesque kind of interest in seeing the dead body among those who didn't really love them deeply that drives this sick custom.[/quote]
