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.

Well, you know, if you actually took a moment to think about it, you’d see that dead bodies look different because of things like decomposition and the lack of blood flow—mind-blowing, right? I mean, it’s really not rocket science; muscles relax, skin changes color, and all sorts of fun biological stuff happens. Honestly, anyone with a basic grasp of biology could tell you that. But hey, I guess not everyone has the curiosity to explore the fascinating world of human anatomy and decay.
