My mum passed away in March 2008 of a very rare form of cancer, although it has taken me such a long time to get passed lots of demons connected to mum’s death, one demon I can’t seem to get passed is the image I have in my head about the state of her body inside her coffin. I have never been a person who is easily upset or horrified with blood and guts or anything connected to death etc… But now after all of this time I feel ready to know about how a cadaver does decompose naturally in the ground, and I do think that having this knowledge will help me to dispel these demons that I have been living with for so long now. Mum was buried in a very dense clay soil and along with our great British weather the ground at the cemetary becomes very soggy and wet throughout the winter months, one thing that I cant help but notice every week when I visit her grave is the fact that the plot where she is burried is sinking and the headstone seems to be also sinking slightly to one side too! Is this because of the decomposition of her body? would her coffin after this time have rotted away therefore causing the sinking in of the soil? I’d also like to know would any of her clothes still be visible? I have so many questions that I would like to ask because I do feel that knowing the answers to them will help me with my healing process, plus I still don’t know as yet if I want to be buried or cremated myself!! I would basically just like to know what my mum’s body will be like now after 4 years and then maybe after 10 years for example under normal conditions please?! This information would be greatly appreciated if anyone can help me, and I would also like to say that all of the information I have learned from this site already has been such a great help too, and thank you to everyone who has taken their time to answer other people’s questions. Keep breathing for as long as you can everyone 🙂
