You set her free, Sweetie. And she needed that.

You can have a private viewing, you know. Just you and her. And say a few words just to her. Talk to the funeral director. I saw my daughter's face every day, even the morning we took her to be cremated.

It's not the same, but it may help you heal.
Talk to the funeral director. They will do whatever YOU NEED to be at peace and comforted. And YOU looking at her is NOT a viewing. She didn't want to be on display for everyone, but a loving member of the family is different.

Yes! My mother-in-law was opposed to public viewings so when she died (unexpectedly, 15 days after a cancer diagnosis) my father-in-law knew she would never want to have a public one. However, we the family had a private viewing before the funeral where we were able to say our goodbyes to her. It helped because the last time my husband and I saw her before that was just after she died, and it was not a pleasant experience to see her like that, so seeing her made up and ready to be laid to rest was a much better final image for us.

again.

I was with my best friend at her home when she died at age 29 from a terminal illness. Her husband and two other closest friends, cats and sister were there. It was so very hard to watch her struggle through the last hours, but it made it easier for us to urge her to stop... and really really mean it. You were so very unselfish in allowing your mom to take her exit from the body that was causing such pain, all the while knowing she was loved and will always be loved. Because love endures, she will never leave you. This is the passing I can only hope to have when my day comes. I will not have a daughter to be with me, but two sons and maybe a wonderful daughter-in-law or two.

Continue to be strong and know you did everything right, everything out of love and care the best that you knew how. Be patient with others in their grief. Lean on each other when you can. Honor your mom by living what she taught you and hoped for you.

Be at peace.

My condolences to you and your family

I recently lost two of my brothers and my mother so I know how painful it is. You never get over it but the pain fades with each and every month. You live your life but never let go of those great memories. Prayers to you and your family.
