dieing.... its underestimated

[hyperbabe701]

I a couple of minautes ago i found out my neighbor died. I a way i knew it was coming, but i never thought it would actually happen. In my mind i think i had this werid idea that everyone lived forever, Ive never lost anyone close too me. He and his wifes family were always very close to my family, my great grandmother knew them and was there neighbor too. I know he has gone to a better place seeing that he was a very religous person. I also find some condolance in the fact that he died at a old age, he was 98, im happy knowing he had time to live his life, and travel places. The worst thing is, his wife is also in critical condition, and now that her husband has died she will probably pass away in the next week. It would one thing if they were my nieghbors, but these people are like the grandparents iive never had, seeing that my real grandparents are part crazy, Id go over to there house on afternoons during the summer, at cristmas time, and even easter. They even taought me how to knit at one time =)

Ya, one of my good friend's dad died at like 55 on tuesdayunexpecdidly (sp?) :? and the worst part was his Bar Mitzvah was supposed to be today (Saturday) I didn't think someone dieing would be that big of a deal (like I wouldn't feel so bad and stuff) but I REALLY felt bad and he wasn't even related to me :?

Dude, that sucks, especially since it seems you were close to the nice old bloke. If it's any comfort, perhaps you, one day, may be that old bloke with nice neighbourse such as yourself and have younger folk to impart knowlege upon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Perhaps my idea is a bit corny, but that's life sometimes.

Try knowing someone who watched helplessly from their house on TV their mother die in the WTC's trapped in the smoke filled 102 floor of the North Tower. And not even knowing when she would die from smoke suffocation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now talk about feeling helpless.

[Celt23]

The number of widows in my neighborhood keeps increasing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you see the ambulance and firetruck in front of a house here it doesn't usually end out well. (lots of older people here)

You.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My eyes feel heavy. I'm going to go cry myself to sleep.

[Saru Inc]

All of these are so true.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm glad I'm a Christian so I know where I'm going when I die.

[Abyssalwhip]

The only reason we die... *Brian interruptes*Dude i know what you're going to say *stewie again* sshhh the only reason we die is because we accept it as an inevitability.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway... Just keep in mind it happens to everyone one time or another so don't be too surprised when it happens to anyone.

[HiLetsFight]

I know its unexpected my old dog died last friday, no warning we went to bed he was fine.

 

 

 

Woke up he was dead.. #-o

Ouch, that's sad to hear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My father passed away a few years ago, although I didn't really know him well it was still a hard hit.

[unkn0wnwarrior]

My uncle passed away in his washroom. His son (8 years old) found him. 1 year earlier, my aunt passed away in a hospital bed. 1 year after my uncle died, another uncle died in his back yard. I have seen so much death in these last few years... That is only a few of the 9 or 10 funerals I have been to in the last 4 years. Worse yet, my grandmothers are both in very bad shape (medically speaking), and I never even met my grandfathers...

[Rebdragon]

All of these are so true.

Know, you're glad you're a Christian because you think you know where you're going to go when you die. Eh, actually, you've got two choices from the Christian perspective, and you never know where you're going :-w .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Me, I'd probably go over the edge if someone close to me died.. I don't love the world much, thus I don't fear death much (as I also don't believe in the artificial idea of Hell), but I'd be a wreck if a friend or family member died :cry: .

[highlanders]

Lol I know. Ive seen a TV show about how people live their lives without actually realising they will die someday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I was down a couple of years ago, I realised that someday I would actually die. Felt as if we were all in trouble lol. Those 'moments' never last though, the brain prevents them from lasting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haha, be happy and live as if there was no tomorrow, might as well.

[unkn0wnwarrior]

but I'd be a wreck if a friend or family member died :cry: .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm the same way... I don't so much cry, but I do get depressed... Not to the point of being suicidal or anything, but depressed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would jump in front of a bullet if it saved the lifeof a loved one... And in many cases, classmates.

Ya, that's pretty much an exact description of me/what I'd do :-k .

[Zonorhc]

I watched my great-grandfather die of old age in his hospital bed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was 12 at the time.

[MoeSzyslak]

It can be hard... my last grandparent passed when I was 12.

[Blue_Eggz]

I watched my great-grandfather die of old age in his hospital bed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was 12 at the time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You watched him die? You didn't help him in any way? You just stood at the foot of his bed and watched him decay? That's cruel. :notalk:

He could have had cancer? He could have died of too many complications?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dude, there was nothing he could do. At least he was there when his grandfather died...probably with his family, to comfort him.

[Geordiequeen]

Death will come to us at one time and my grandad died two years ago and i was crushed but i felt something, he was now free from the pain and instead of seeing parkinsons take over my Grandad's life anymore i remembered when i was a child when he used to play with me. Death can be bad but for my Grandad it was the end of pain and in some ways a welcome relief.

[fat_hobbit22]

we all fear death so much we never learn to live,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

step in relegion, aha but now i have some good news for you..... but only if you do exactly as i say.

 

 

 

so do what i say and dont worry about diesing, go atack (insert relegion here)....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

we all die, lear to accept it, dont cry, its precious time wasted,

 

 

 

from the second our born your slowly dieing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

why fear the transition to death? its like going to sleep? maybe with pain sometimes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

why fear death? because you think of all the things you should haqve done and wont get to do...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

conclusion live well and death is nothing

[megakiller32]

I dont wanna die, but i have a long time (I hope :shock: ) To accept its coming. :P

[StrOwez]

All of these are so true.

But you don't really.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry about your loss, the good part is that he was 98 as you say thats pretty old.

[Grim_Jokes]

It's not death that we fear. It's a painful death. We fear suffering.

What was the point of that? Why does one set of cirumstances make it out to be more tragic. Death is death. How it happened or why it happened doesn't detract from the impact it has on a person.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So please, don't try and make this into a competition. You're both as 'helpless' as each other. Neither could prevent it. Neither were held responsible to prevent it. Both should be equally mourned.
