How do I stay calm if I have to identify a body?

I’m not a mental health expert. If I had to guess, I would guess that you mean how do you “identify” or confirm that a body is a particular person, as in the context of death? What do you mean by “stay calm?”  Can you elaborate?
assistant
I am totally scared of dead bodies.
user
I’m very sorry you’re having this experience.  I wonder if you’re really interested in hearing my view about the reality of the issue, or if you’d like some general encouragement?  I know you probably want some sympathy, but I don’t know how to best provide that.
assistant
Oh, that's sad.
user
It’s okay, we can talk about it when you’re ready.
assistant
So you don't know how I can maintain composure in this situation?
