Kissed a dead body

Honestly you're fine. The demon stuff is bulls**t and if it was two weeks ago you're definitely fine, not that there was any chance of anything happening anyway. We put our hands on filthy things and touch our mouths seriously so many germs every day. You're totally fine and it's very common for people to kiss people in caskets. Don't worry about it any more it's an honest waste of time.

Sorry to hear about your step dad. As you've said, many people have done this at funerals or hospitals. Have you heard on the news or from medical healthcare professionals about this "pandemic" stemming from kissing the dead? If it were that bad, there would be a ban or legal document you'd need to sign to accept the risk before doing it.

It's truly unfortunate that you're struggling with health anxiety whilst you're dealing with this situation but from a physical perspective if you're going to get ill yourself, this won't be the cause of it. The internet is both wonderful and terrible for articles like this.

As for spiritually I'm afraid I can't comment there xx

Demons really????? Not at all thats evil talk can you imagine your Dad wanting to harm you alive or dead. I kissed my Dad over 8 years ago now and my Aunt very recently. It never crossed my mind nor wouldnt do.

Im a born again Christian therefore demons are evil and off the devil. Dint give that any mind room at all please.

Hi I've never read anything like that I wouldn't worry about it I've kissed people I love when they passed away try not to think about it you'll be fine xx

I think you'll be fine. When my grandmother passed away in 2008, I was by her side holding her. She died of cancer. Do I worry about getting cancer? Absolutely, but at the same time i have to try and live while I can.

Thankyou all , I just read up on this awful stuff about how it’s dangerous and the chemicals used on the bodies shouldn’t be touched . I loved my dad and at the time it didn’t even cross my mind . But awful then the health conscious person that I am kicks in and I worry about it . 

All I can tell you is this is NOT true the chemicals are internal there is not way at all you could have contaminated yourself, in my line of work I deal with a lot of death. I promise u this is just an intrusive thought your anxiety has created, it has zero truth 

The chemicals used on a body are all internal. The only thing they apply to the skin of the deceased is make-up to make them appear more normal in complexion. When a person has passed away the blood settles in the body and the facial color can be unnatural (yellowish), so they apply make up to make the skin tone look more natural. It is just make-up like you can buy in a store and is not toxic.

Kissing the body on the cheek or forehead is quite common in some cultures, I would not worry about any health concerns. As for your spiritual concerns, I would consult your Pastor or Priest. I'm an Orthodox Christian and I'm sure my Priest would say not to worry.

Thankyou so much all for your very logical responses . I don’t regret the kiss as it was a good bye to a man who loved me as his own for as long as I can remember . I just wish my horrible anxiety wouldn’t of kicked in and even made me think twice . I appreciate your time . Loss is a horrible thing especially at such a young age but I will not let anxiety Kick in on top of it all
