Hello harlyivyquinn. I'm sorry for your loss of your brother.

This is an interesting question. A few years ago I became interested in seeing the photos of dead people in the Victorian era. So I went to YouTube of course, because everything is on YouTube lol.

So, I chose the file I thought I was interested in seeing, it was a series of photos of children. But a second or two after seeing the first photo I became filled with revulsion and horror.

I couldn't stop crying and I was horribly shaken.

I didn't have a compulsion to see anymore photos of the dead.

If you are still compelled to look up those photos, what is it about them that fascinates you?

I'm sorry for the loss of your Brother. The grieving process takes many forms. Can you try to work with a bereavement councillor ? Perhaps this has come about from the viewing , I'm sure you can be assisted with this , please try to feel that this is not strange.
