Death sucks.

[Evo]

Sorry to hear the Garantou, not ashamed to say it brought tears to my eyes

Not to take anything away from your loss mate, but my Great Aunt passed away yesterday, i'm content really, she had lived a great life, though towards the end she was nearly blind and frail etc. but she and her husband, my Great Uncle continued to go on cruises until couple of months ago.

Feel sad for my Great Uncle, they were great despite me not seeing them for ages. They seemed to be the only ones on my Dad's side that did well for themselves. My Dad divorced my mum, moved to France and got remarried. His brother left my Nan and Grandad (who died many years ago) at a young age with his wife to go to Australia.

Feel sad yeah, but know she had a good life and was a great person.

Didn't think i would open up that much here....

Condolences to you man, losing a loved one is never easy but its always best to share
how you feel, whether it be through something as trivial as a message board or other through
talking to others, just never keep things to yourself as you'll only get worked up.

I'm afraid of death. It terrifies me. Even though I have my faith, the idea of leaving this world without experiencing everything I would realistically want to... its just terrifying.

I'm not afraid of Death, just the manner of how I die.

Well I wouldn't be afraid of death if I knew I was going to die an old man, peacefully... but I don't know that, and chances are it won't happen.

I'm sorry man. That sort of thing really does suck, theological and metaphysical ponderances aside. You got to say goodbye, and I think that makes a world of difference.

Death does suck. I hope your dad is in heaven. I'm sick of people suffering in this stupid world.

Death is something I think about almost every day. I am morbid.


Nearly a month ago I was talking to my Dad and he didn't respond. I spoke up and he still didn't respond. I assumed he fell asleep while watching TV, but I knew he wouldn't want to sleep through the final football game of his favorite team, so I yelled, "DAD!" Trying to be as obnoxious as possible to make sure he heard me. Well he didn't. I walked up to him and put my hands on him and called to him, "wake up. Dad are you OK? Dad. Dad Im calling the ambulance are you OK?"

Turns out he had a heart attack and all of his heart arteries were 95%-100% clogged. Its amazing he was living like this at 65 years old. They did some things to clear this all up, but the fact is that he could have died at any moment with his heart having something of 2.5% effectiveness.


So a few days later, something I was thinking:


I was thinking that death is necessary, or else the world would be over-crowded with people 1000's of years old, not to mention all the animals and insects that live forever. This just wouldn't be possible. If it weren't for death there couldn't be life.


So then I thought of this, maybe I could say it differently but Im sure you understand what I'm saying:

You can't live forever. You have to let someone else have a turn.

I am very sorry for your loss Kevin.

True, but I think everyone should be able to fulfill certain goals with their turn. It sucks when people are cut short of their life.

I don't know what to say but I want to say something. It's O.K. to grieve but try not to let it take over your life. Yesterday I was thinking of how I would like to tell my buddy Vic something, but Vic died 4 months ago. He had just turned 60 (diabetes related). That caused me to think about how my buddy Tim O.D-ed on heroin at age 31, and my buddy Warren died at age 32 of epileptic seizure and then there was Sharon but anyhow! I know how you feel right now. You have my condolences. - Timm

What I've always thought is that destruction (in this case death) is just another form of creation in the way that it makes room for the new. Not that what comes after is always better. To be honest, I've never been sad about anybodys death at all. I can still remember when my grandmother died, and I thought "whats the big deal?". Although I most certainly undertsand all the "selfish" reasons to be sad, I have yet to experience any of them myself.

(By selfish, I mean like they made you happy, made you laugh, had some good times with you etc.)

Not that what I think needs to be right for anyone else, it's just what I think and my point view. I have not yet lost any parents so I wouldn't know anything, I'm just guessing. But I remember when my grandmother died, I "wanted" to be sad, because everybody else were...



BTW: I'm sorry for my spelling mistakes, I'm from norway...
