This is something I've been curious about for years. My dad passed of cirrhosis of the liver when I was 13. I remember the bloated belly area and then at the wake, no belly. I knew it was drained but didn't want to think about it too hard. Thank you for the info ladies! ❤
My dad passed of a massive cerebral hemorage,( he did have cirrhosis ) when I was 19 . 6 weeks before having my first baby . She’s 46 now .😢I’m so pleased that you explain it with so much empathy .❤
So sorry to hear your story Sheryl, it must have been difficult for you, especially just before having your daughter 😞 Thank you for sharing please take good care ❤️❤️
Very informative. I have been here before and mentioned my dads passing in previous videos. He passed from pancreatic cancer and was severely jaundice right until he passed. When we viewed Dad he looked like he was asleep. His left hand, which was the arm his medication was administered wad still yellow but his right hand, neck and face were fine. He did look slightly grey but had been in storage for 2 weeks while we were waiting for his mahogany coffin to be made, which I'm told is something a lot of people don't do here in the UK. A lot of coffins are cheap particle board but we didn't want that for Dad, He said he wanted a solid Mahogany coffin.
Hi, yes you have shared before 🤗 your poor dad sure he was well cared for, it sounds like he was❤️ Yes not many people opt for solid real wooden coffins theses days. How special you had your dad's made to what he wanted 🤗❤️❤️
Great video lovely ladies.When my brother passed from cirrhosis.We were told by hospice that when he passed,he would start to purge red.This terrified me and i grabbed a red rag and wrapped it around his head.Thank goodness he did not,even up to 30 min when they came to pick him up.He looked great after they prepared him.I had no idea that it took so much to prepare him.
I'm a firefighter that went to a guy w/jaundice, no lie when I say he was so green he looked like he fell into a vat of the stuff they use for highlighter pens, even the whites of the eye were yellow. It was a sight to see.
You taught me about cirrhosis of the liver, Tracy. That was the first death I can remember, my Grandma Sharp died when I was 11 years old and I heard my dad talk about that for years so thank you! And Trish, I loved your "yummy" remark!!
I really wish i would have known this. I lost my Dad and Brother this way. I cremated them both. I would really have liked to see my brother not yellow. He was only 45. But I thought that they were not able to get that fluid retained in the tissue that made his chin and neck just look so heavy away, and the memory of him when others saw him, wouldnt be the way they remembered him before the six months of binge drinking. Im really thankful for this epispde.
Happy new year my two favorite Australian women. This is Richard from Florida USA 🇺🇸 I was in hospital with pneumonia in both lungs and congested heart failure on January 1st I am finally home. Know I love you 2 my birthday is on Jan 30 I will be 59
Oooh no so very sorry to hear 😔 hope you are on the road to recovery 🙏 and taken good care of yourself. Treat yourself to something nice on your birthday 🥳 and have a wonderful day. Big Happy Birthday wishes for the Jan 30th 🎈 (Tracy here, my husbands birthday is the same day) Take good care Richard and you are still a spring chicken 🥰❤️❤️
Hi ladies, I know I’d be dead and in a sense it wouldn’t matter, but pls, pls, PLS keep that trocar away from me!!!! On a lighter note, hope you lovely ladies are both happy n healthy and smiling up there. Pls take care, there’s wild weather popping in your neighbourhood!
😆😆 yip we are with you on the trocar thing too 😉 Oh my goodness it's so hot and humid 🥵 at the moment and we have been hit by a few big storms already fingers crossed the next lot of storms are not as bad. It's like walking outside into a sauna at the moment! Hope you're all good too 🥰
My brother passed away from Biliary Atresia in 1979 at 2 years old. He had a large tummy most of his life because of his liver. My mom said his large tummy was gone at his funeral though.
Thank you for answering these questions. It must seem mundane to you! But all the questions so far have been answered. I’ve been in healthcare for 24 years. I have recoiled since the “CV”! I was there! Front line! I am sick. I saw the dead and dying and I feel this time and notification was inappropriate. I’m just now going into it again WITHOUT pushing my views and experiences. It was real and traumatizing. We knew before the rest of the world by more than 3 months! God help us all. I know to much. All I can say to Americans “ as I am” vote Red! We are tired, we are done! Don’t trust big pharma! God Bless!
Take care and thank you for your comments. I really don't find answers questions mundane I think we all need to talk more openly about death, it's going to happen to us all. ❤️
Howdy, ladies. 👋 This was very interesting! Good informative video! Tracy - do these symptoms [bloated, yellow, edema] also affect those that pass away from liver cancer? (Love 😍 how you talk with your hands!) Trish - Love ❤️ your nice tan & hair color! Looking good!
Hi Teebee 🤗 Yes it sometimes can happen but not always. I know right I just can not control my hands it drives my hubby mad 😉 Trish's hair is look fab she's forever changing the colour. Take care 😘❤️❤️
I have a question! I hope I can post it here! You mentioned that you don't always embalm a body. Why wouldn't one be embalmed? If a body dies in an accident and left to basically rot because they are not found and buried properly, what happens then? Do the bugs and maggots (and rats) come around them? Does it smell in the area? Would that make it easier to find them if searching for them in the rubble (if any)? Is there a point in time where it is then too late to embalm?? Sorry about the gross questions but yes! I'm dying to know!!
Hi, there are many reasons not to embalm a body and more often than not you don't need to embalm. Here in Queensland Australia most of the body preparation are not embalmed, washed dressed placed in to the coffin or casket for the service. The only time we embalm here is if the family requests it, cultural reasons, body going home for a few days, been flown to another country or in an above ground vault. As for bodies not found for a long time then they will go through the natural decomposition stages, that will involve flys them maggots. We are all organic matter and break down when we die. Thank you for your question take care 😊💚
This is how my mum died. I was recommended to not view her, so I had no idea any of this would have happened to her body. I wish I knew then, as I feel like this is brand new information I now need to process. To confirm this is what happens to every one? It’s a standard procedure? Or does it vary from each mortician?
Hi, so very sorry to hear 😞 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹 Everyone deseased person is different and yes even though morticians and Embalmers do the same job we all work slightly differently. Take good care ❤️❤️
So i have back problems and calcium deposits in my spine that make me hunched, i was worried that when i die ill be contorted into a weird shape when im viewed, my uncle was the same way and his body twisted and looked very uncomfortable, i was wondering how that can be fixed, ive told my family to let the funeral home do whatever needs to be done so i lay flat if it happens but what are the options?
It sounds like there's a lot of math involved in embalming. I assume this because Tracy mentions getting the chemical balance right. If achieved through mathematical calculations, what are the factors used to calculate? I imagine the person's weight would be a factor. Am I completely wrong about this idea? Thank you!
You can have a natural burial if dying from liver disease. Just no chemicals with be used during the preparation. So after draining all the fluid because no chemicals are be used it recommend the burial takes place a day or two after the preparation for service. 💚
Hi Vanessa, the initial chat with the family when the funeral directors visit them to arrange the funeral is around 1 to 2 hours. Then the funeral directors will send out the final arrangement to the staff in the office who have certain roles to organise, coffin/casket, flowers, chapel/church, and any other things family requests. So a straightforward service arrangement can be sorted in a day and service within a few days can go ahead. Most popular is chapel services with a celebrant leading the service, simple and straightforward. But if you want something like say a sea burial that can take a few weeks to organise. Thank you for your question take care 😊❤️❤️
Tracy you sound local to me. Im in Durham 🇬🇧, could i ask where you're based plz? Cant ty enough for this insight into liver cirrosis. Lost my 40year old brother suddenly in 2018 . I Found him in bed... still have the smell haunting me .

Placing cushions in positions under the body that would help the body to face upwards. ❤️❤️
It sounds like there's a lot of math involved in embalming. I assume this because Tracy mentions getting the chemical balance right. If achieved through mathematical calculations, what are the factors used to calculate? I imagine the person's weight would be a factor. Am I completely wrong about this idea? Thank you!
No you are correct. They is a lot of factors involved and to much maths for my liking 😉❤️❤️

You can have a natural burial if dying from liver disease. Just no chemicals with be used during the preparation. So after draining all the fluid because no chemicals are be used it recommend the burial takes place a day or two after the preparation for service. 💚
From start to finish, how long does it take to plan a usual funeral?, and what is the most popular type of service?. Thank you for the great videos. 😊

Thank you for your question take care 😊❤️❤️
If you have someone who has this type of bloating but is having a direct cremation do you still have to cavity aspirate?
Hi yes if the body does not stop purging otherwise the coffin would become wet with the liquid and the smell is very unpleasant ❤️
Are the procedures the same in the USA?
Probably very similar ❤️
