Just came from the wake. Looked nothing like him. New nose. New lips. Bad makeup. Swollen left side of face. I dont wanna have to do this again for a long time.
The process used by undertakers people rarely look themselves. That maybe why I prefer a closed casket. Let people remember the deceased the way they are.
H.A. I hope you can endure this transition and get back to your life soon. You will never forget but in time the pain will ease.
