TRIGGERING - should I go and view my friends body in the chapel before the funeral?

[pandoraphile]

I've got a couple of threads elsewhere about her death. She had cancer and died quite quickly, just before Christmas. She was one of my best friends and I'm struggling to process that she's gone. I've never viewed a body before. I have no idea whether to go or not. Anybody have any advice?? The funeral is next Wednesday.

Sorry for your loss OP. I chose to see my DMum and my DDad after they died,and I don't regret it. I felt like it went some way to help me accept that they had gone.
