Ex-h's viewing is tomorrow

[kateausten]

I don't know how to link to my other post but it was about my ex-husband's death last week.

Tomorrow we are making the 3.5hr drive to Las Vegas for ex-H's viewing. Ugh. I'm so stressed out about it. His family can't afford a funeral so they are having a private table-top viewing (!!!). Basically, he will be laying under a blanket on a table. They get to have the viewing for an hour and that's it. I'm scared to go in and see him. I don't want my kids traumatized by what they see. I don't want to be traumatized by what I see. He isn't being embalmed either since that costs money too.

I'm on the verge of tears 24/7 and I feel sick to my stomach. I just want this to be over for my kids.

If anyone has any good thoughts/prayers/etc for us I would appreciate it.

Wow...that sounds extremely difficult, glad you're at least prepared for it

Oh I'm so sorry. I'll be thinking about you and your family.

Sounds like a truly trying time; for you and your children. Many T&Ps for you all.

I am so sorry, I will keep you and your kids in my thoughts tomorrow. Viewings and funerals are tough, but this sounds like it will be particularly trying.

I'm really sorry about the circumstances, Kate (I read your other post earlier). I will send positive vibes your way, especially to your kids.

I'm really sorry to hear this. Nevada must have different laws because in CA you must be embalmed to have a viewing.

I am so sorry. At least you know what the viewing will be like tomorrow, I can't imagine walking into that unknown.

I am sorry you and your kids have to go through this. I hope you all find some peace and closure.

Big zombie internet hug coming your way. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this.
