Mikey,
My heart aches for you and your daughter. It's been a year since my husband passed. Some days are really good and some are bad, but it is getting easier. It will never be the same but you will adjust to a "different normal". I empathize with the "viewing". I chose a closed coffin for my husband. I said my goodbye when he passed at home. When my parents passed away I never went into the room with the casket because I didn't want to remember them that way. I was traumatized when I was younger at my Grandfather's "viewing" and haven't been able to deal with that since. Anyway, come here whenever you need to and "talk". It cathartic for all of us. God Bless and give you strength.
