If and when you ctb, do you care what you look like when you are found?

Thanks, yes, I've watched a couple of mortician YouTube videos. Kind of morbid but fascinating as well.

 

[Callie Arcale]

No, I don't care what I look like. I'm just thinking of putting a tarp and some towells under me so as to make it easy to clean.

I've been thinking about the outfit I'm going to wear. I'm also going to do my makeup. Not sure why I've decided this, but since I'm going to ctb via partial hanging, might as well look good doing it. I'm also going to put towels under me as I don't want to make the floor a mess.

I've decided I want to have an open-casket funeral, so violent methods like shotguns are last resort.

I'll probably be wearing my pajamas when I CTB.

 

[Preparingforpeace]

Eh, I'm kinda torn. One one hand, yes I care. On the other, it's the sufferers ending that's the most important.
In my case, it's the end that sets others free anyway, so the gift of that I think overshadows the physical appearance anyway.

I definitely care...I plan to wear a little makeup when I do it. Ive been trying to clear up my skin & lose a little weight so I look good when Im found. Ive spent way too much time trying to decide what Im gonna wear the day I ctb

 

[Life_and_Death]

I use to care but after spending time here have stopped caring.

(it's funny how things become normal and "meaningless" once overexposed)

I always thought this- that your hair and nails keep growing after death but apparently- it's your skin drying out and shrinking back that makes it look like your hair and nails are longer.

Is that what it is? That's cool. See? Learn something new every day. Thanks for that.

 

[Poor Stargazer]

I dont really care but i have nobody who cares also.

 

[Sunny-Pia]

Sort of. I don't want people to find me when I'm way into my decomposition process. It's like you don't want them to find you too early, but too late would not be good either.. the poor clean up people in .

The same thought runs through my mind always- not too soon not too late, must b perfectly timed where your looks havent changed and funky smell hasn't emerged.

I don't mind. Since it will be CTB, they will do autopsy. They will remove all clothes and basically do whatever they need or want with the empty body that we left behind. Smells happen when the weather is hot and depends on various conditions really. They very much used to that they see several corpses a day. My only worry would be into a family member seeing me , so I will just shower and have proper clothing so its not as bad

 

[Oya]

Maybe it's a silly question but I wondered if anyone else thinks about this? I'm struggling badly with my hygiene right now due to depression and have zero energy to shower most days. I don't even know why I'm thinking about this ugh. I feel like I need to be showered and clean first. I'm guessing dead bodies never have a good smell so should I just not care?

Have no interest in visually being cosmetic, I will however make sure my son isn't first to the scene also will have tarps down for quick tidy up of body and bag placed over head incase mother is to be first at the scene- I will not force my her to a visual that will scar her for the rest of her days, it's going to be a raw sight anyhow

 

[markimobzzdeasui]

I don't care or worry about that. Although it makes me sick and nervous from inside knowing that everyone will be looking upon my body. Maybe because I am a very private person and don't like people in general. Good thing that I will be gone to know or feel anything by that point. Another benefit of Death I guess.

Yes, it made sense when I heard it. Vaguely related, my dentist said the term 'getting a bit long in the tooth' referred to receding gums. Stupidly, I didn't really know what the term meant for years and have been using it. Always pictured rabbits with their constantly growing teeth. Funny what we go on believing for years when it's not actually right.

No, not at all x
