Seeing a fellow human being die.

[Dankhurricane]

Haven't seen anyone die, and don't want to! My girlfriend looks after old people with dementia for a living and she deals with dead people quite alot. Don't reckon I have the stomach for it tbh.

I bet you hear stories about old people getting stuck together fucking.

hahaha, Na but she did say the other day, a man was visiting her wife who was in the home and she (my gf) came into the room with a meal for them went to give it to them and they were full on snogging like tongues down eachothers throats snogging

hahaha my cousin who works in a home said that there was a guy who'd come and visit his wife just to fuck her. he'd call the nurses in the room the reposition her, even.

Blurgh. That's nasty

a man was fisting her wife

What I thought I read.

I really need to sleep more.

Jesus, it happened again. What is it about 'visiting' that makes me think it says fisting?

^^They can do whatever they like in the privacy of their (nursing) home.

but I can relate to the relief of death for Alzheimers sufferers
it's a shitty, scarey, random existence towards the end.

my intimate experience with dying:
Trying to give a bloke CPR at the time,
puffing into his tobacco-soaked lungs
& suddenly, like a whisp of smoke, he left.
Definitely a release for him
after a fruitful, adventurous life.

seen a few car accidents, 1 after school years ago, the girl died after getting knocked 10 ft into the air, crazy. Saw a guy lose it on lighter gas (idiot), he died for 5 mins at this party and then the ambulance came and they resuscitated him. It was crazy because we were all friends with the guy but no-one REALLY freaked out, a lot of people we just standing about like 'what do we do now'... He's got mild brain damage from it

death is just the next step y'all, like changing trains

Not proud of it, but, I watched a lot of videos on the internet of people dying.

Like people being shot at in the war, heads cut off, even the dnepropetrovsk maniacs video.

Definitely, really put me in a different perspective on life, on how it's taken for granted, not certain you'll make it to the next day, how life is such a valuable thing.... which is why I don't get why people take things serious all the time...

Aye saw the (painfully slow in her case :/ she looked like she was on the way out early but survived 6 odd years mad as a bag of ferrets) horrible progression of Alzheimers with my great aunt and I will say its a fate far far worse than death. I would, if it wouldnt put my friends and family in a very tough legal position, asked to be euthanised if I ever find myself in that situation.

As for seeing death I have seen a good few accidents in which I have never known the outcome but been fairly sure someone has died and have seen body bags and I agree with an earlier poster in that I am scarily apathetic towards it. It doesnt really seem to bother me, obviously if I imagine it being someone I know I can begin to sympathise but I dont see the point in letting it fuck with my day. Im fairly selfish towards death it seems, and it seems to only bother me if it has been someone I have known / loved.

I was actually talking to some people I know who work as paramedics about all this last night and how I wouldn't be able to handle seeing someone die. :/

[feral witchchild]

Didn't see anyone die, but I saw my dad's dead body. Surreal night.. I work at a venue and that night it was the first night I'd supply the fridges with drinks. I told them I'd probably leave at times to check up on my dad who was in the hospital. We knew he probably wouldn't be around for too long, but I didn't think it would be that night. Anyway, I checked up on him at around 12 at night, left the venue at twelve and just as I entered the hospital I got a call from my mom saying I should drop by. Well, I was in the room one minute later. Apparently it happened as I got off my bike.

Surreal. o.o

Goddamn, man. Sorry to hear.

[dubmatters]

found my gran just after she had a stroke.

[the acid never lies]

Never seen anyone die

I was the one who found my dad's dead body though. I was five at the time

that wasn't exactly great. I get what you mean about the fragility of life to a certain extent. I feel I was definitely more aware of people's mortality than most others as I grew up. A lot of people say they thought like they were immortal when they were young. I definitely didn't

I'm sorry to hear that man I have a friend who has had the exact same experience.

[pkay]

mentioned in another thread saw a dude get murdered at a club.... saw dudes in afghanistan that likely died (not in front of me tho)

It's an overbearing feeling. Don't think humans are meant to comprehend their own mortality like that

I seen it quite a lot actually, happened at every school I went to. Think I already posted about it on here. Strangest was my mate with a weak heart curling up to perish in a cloakroom, didn't even have time to close his eyes before the big escape. Weird feeling seeing the one way dilation of a dead buddy's eyes. Was always more curious than spooked out as a kid though. Maybe it's because I never span the world back around the ego in order to think 'glad it wasn't me'. Saw some messy deaths too, two occasions where brains have escaped the skull. Dunno... At a young age it painted a picture that somehow you die when things are disorganised in specific ways (I remember wondering why 'you die if your insides end up on the outside). I guess a morbid curiousity drove me towards learning about systems n tings as I spent my yoof pretty much obsessed with the potential destruction of venoms etc (such as reading about a girl who had lost all limbs to gangrene from a spider bite)... The more I looked into the chemistry o' tings though, the more lucid the whole picture and it's applications became

Without sounding like a tnuc I don't feel disturbed from the darker events that revolve around the irony of seeing a human body at it's most peaceful moment. It's a complete contrast to times such as when I found a young kid having a seizure in public with other families rushing their own kids past them. It's more like people fear the journey, which is fair enough because no one pops back to review the afterlife's holiday camp (unless you bought into that jesus tosh)

Anyway, when it comes to death, I think the biggest thing I have personally learned is the power of self projection - the ability to see a lifeless body, yet project your feelings into it and expect reciprocation

After I got my CPR licence, I was always scared of something like this happening. Lucky for me I never had to use it.

Your posts are always so awesome too

I had a scare the other night at a club.. was such a good night Nero and 12th Planet were killing it and we were out in front of the spot just chillin and then I feel the ground shake...

I looked down and my friend was lying on the concrete looking up at me like he was a gonner...

I started looking around for someone who could do CPR on him and he came to...

turns out he's epilleptic and he was having a seizure, but he wasn't moving like a normal seizure

but that look in his eyes.. I thought I had just seen my friend die right in front of me

terrible feeling
