My mother and father kissed her hands and face.  It was especially hard on my mother who could not let her go.I was very close to one of my grandmothers and I think seeing her body was worst of all for me. I didn't even want to be in the church while we were waiting for the service to begin. It wasn't her, and wasn't the way I wished to remember her. But hey - we all process death differently. If it was a comfort to you to kiss your sister on the forehead, then who cares what anyone else would do? |

I haven't had anyone that close pass away, therefore never felt the need to touch or kiss the ones I have seen. But I can see why one would do it with someone you are very close to. That must have been very difficult for all of you 
 Thanks! | |

If it was a comfort to you to kiss your sister on the forehead, then who cares what anyone else would do? I agree. For me it was very hard to see the body of my aunt who raised me and I refused to see the body of my dad. But if is is a comfort for others to say good-bye like that it's a wonderful thing  With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be! And if, then I hope that I would then have wen in my environment who joins me in the A.... | |
