I have the same problem, Dianne. Or open-casket viewings. Especially of people I love. It breaks my heart to see them lying there like that. I prefer to remember them with vitality and sparkles in their eyes, but after I've seen a body laid out, that's the image that stays in my head. It can take me months to get past that image and back to my memories of what they REALLY looked like when I knew and loved them.

Am I the only one who has trouble getting rid of such vivid images in my head?! Once I've seen a graphic image of something, it takes so much work to get it out of my mind. It keeps replaying itself over and over again, despite every effort to fill my mind with God and flowers and other beautiful thoughts. Which is why I have to be very careful what toxic stuff I put into my brain.
