As a suggestion you could take a good picture of her with you and look at it when you go to her casket. You want to remember her as when she was healthy not now. The other thing is you must remember that she is at peace. I work with the elderly and I believe in god and I figure that they are now at peace with him. I hope this helps.

don't look if it makes you uncomfortable
She's happy in heaven, it's so wonderful, she feels no pain. Don't force yourself to look at her just know she's having a fun time where she is. GOOD LUCK!!
I'm sorry to hear that. From what I've heard they usually manage to make people look pretty good in an open casket funeral, so it might not be as hard as you think. I would try to just focus on the good things that you want to remember about her when you look at her. Look past how she appears now and just remember those good things about her - that's what she would want, right? Good luck.
Please don't look at here rememder her as she was
If you do look you will remember that all your life .
So think of grandma as she was
Not what she was at the end
And to cope with death can be very hard
My neighbor, a preacher, kept his wife's casket closed. Closed caskets are becoming more prevalent. I didn't look at my grandmother - I wanted to remember her as she was when I sat on her lap as a kid.
You don't have to look at her in the casket if you don't want to. It isn't necessary. Remember how she was when she was well and your relationship with her. That is much more important. I doubt that your grandma would want to be seen with how she looks at the end.
