I 23(f) have lost two close friends in horrific circumstances over the last few years. Can anyone explain to me why bodies,
particularly faces, looks so different after death – is it because they’ve been embalmed, or is it the human brain not being able to process what they’re seeing infront of them? Apologies if this is too gruesome for this sub, i think this might be me grieving and just trying to find some way to understand why.

I’m an older fellow and I’ve been sitting at the bedside of a few people when they pass and I have to say the difference is immediate….as soon as the last breath is gone the face relaxes completely and they just look empty somehow …it’s hard to describe, I’m not religious but there is a definite sense of emptiness about the body at the moment of death
