The Death Thread

[GONE Ridin' Hood]

No, this is not a thread of the superb band Death. It is a thread in which we will comment, mourn, honour and even bash (with respect of course) our fellow mates who have passed away.

You can comment about everyone you want, it does not matter if it is someone of your family, Chuck Schindler, Dimebag, Jon Notved or the bassist of Terrorizer (forgot his name) or Steve Irwin.

it's about anyone who passed away.

One of my favorite plants has withered and died :/

All my cats but one died. Most of them were ran over by car because I used to live on a street where cars drive fast. But that was years ago.
My grandma died when I was 12, but she was like a mother to me.
One of my friends mom commited suicide in July...

My pet rock died

Lemme guess, it wouldn't eat?

My dog died of cancer almost one year ago. Good thing it was fast (she suffered three weeks and then she died), but i miss her quite a bit.

My grandmother died some four-and-a-half years ago at age sixty-something (lungs+heart+liver+whoknowswhatelse complication; she'd been going to hospitals pretty often for years, and she had always come out fine, but one lost battle and you can't fight again ). She was the family member i loved the most, and i still miss her a lot when i think of her.

Well, this thread is going to be full of sad stuff, but i don't know whether the sad part will be all the death stories or all the people going emo over them.

One and a half week ago the mother of a kid from my school died. The family lives in my street and I know the kid quite well (he's 3 forms under me and i went two times to a tent camp with him where i was one of the responsible guys and he was one of the kids we were responsible for, i know some of his friends because he goes to the youth group with which we go tenting and I'm sometimes there, too; what i'm just trying to explain is that I know him quite well but wouldn't count him as a real friend which may be because he's still 1 or 2 years too young).
Nevertheless the death of his mother affected me quite a bit. I was one of the first persons that knew about her death. I didn't think much about the tragedy of the mother's death - I only spoke to her once for one or two minutes - but about what is going on inside the kids (he has a younger sister). I asked myself what I would think or how I would feel and react.
It all made me think a lot because if I hadn't known, I wouldn't have recognised that something, that normally has a big impact, happened, according to the boy's behaviour. So I often thought how that must be for him etc.
Now this all has gone but sometimes I still wonder how other people feel about things that don't affect me, but with which I am merely in a far relation connected.

I asked myself what I would think or how I would feel and react.

i felt the same when the mom of one of my friend died (suicide). But there i knew her mom well, and we lived in the same street. It was strange to imagine that her mom was dead, and stranger to imagine how she was dead, because she didnt even seemed to be depressed.
My friend wasnt going very well at the time it happened. I am wondering how she is doing now. She didnt go along too well with her father, and now her mom is not even there for her any more. My friend is almost 20 and she has a younger brother (16).
I didnt have much contact with my friend because after high school i went to the USA for 1 year, and our point of view, interests and all changed. We doidnt have many things in common anymore. But still, when i learned what happened it felt pretty weird, and i felt sorry i couldnt be there for my friend even if we didnt speak a lot now (She lives in Belgium and I live in Germany so I couldnt come back).
I have talked a bit with her on msn, but i didnt know how to react, or what to say. I was afraid to say something wrong, or something that would make her some pain...
I will see her in October, but I am quite afraid of how things would be.



i know this probabily sounds emo, but I didnt want to talk about it with people 1 month ago, when it happened, because it made me feel even weired to talk about that.
Maybe I didnt act as a good friend in this... but i dont have any words to say in that case. I never knew personally someone who comitted suicide before. My grandmotehr died, she was like a mom to me (I spend lot of time with her till i turned 5 because my parents both had a full time job at the time). but here it s different. I dont know how it would feel to lose one s mom at a so young age...

 

[Blitzkrieg Pajo]

Well the reason why one didn't recognise that happened something to the boy may be that he seems to me quite introverted. His mother had cancer 1 or 2 years ago and now it came back and I heard that her husband had only given her a few month more to live, so I think the parents had prepared their children for the probable death of their mother. And still I wonder why it affected me in a strange way and why I wondered about the boy's oddly normal behaviour.

people always die in september. at least people who are dear to me.
september 2004, my friend carlo died.
september 2005, my father died.
this year, i don't know and i'd rather avoid any other deaths, if only to avoid giving green day the satisfaction of thinking to myself "wake me up when september ends".

on a completely unrelated note (read: not caused nor anyway linked to said deaths), but still related to dying, i believe that if i was not a christian i would commit suicide. this is not a generic statement - considering my personality and attitudes, if i was not a christian i would probably be an agnostic verging on atheism, with a very strong materialistic/what-you-see-is-what-you-get drive. of course i cannot imagine precisely how i would be if i were completely different, but i guess that in such a frame of mind, and without a belief in some higher purpose of life, i would not hesitate to put the gun to my head and fire. Even if I don't have a gun.

Suicide is such a terrible thing, especially when the person is really close to you. I have a very, very, very very very close freind (a girl), who's mom is crzy and has tried to kill herself several times.

Poor girl, she has to suffere so much, she doesn't desreve it, she's really a nnice person.

Actually, at one time in my life I was really thinking of killing myself, I held the razorblade up to my throat (not the best part to kill yerself though hehe), but then stopped and deicded to wait.

Luckily I didn't do it, and I am a very happy person now .

@Hyena: Wow that's terrible, sorry about you father.

And everyone, don't worry, 'tis ok to be emo (@Undie), but it's not ok to listen to emo.

My grandpa died like 5 years ago, I wasn't that close to him, though I think about him from time to time. The sad thing is how he died, in a nursery home, all alone, not knowing that he was dying, because he had Alzeihmer (terrible disease, I'd rather die than have that) AND Parkinston. So his life in the end was terrible, because he was both mentally and physically ill.

Can we have a thread dedicated to a mutual circle masturbation or something alike, cuz this board is full of kids on a brink of psychological exhaustion filled with anxiety and shtuff, so... let's get back to this thread in afterlife, aye? And I will finally change my sub-line to "village idiot or something"

Cereblate rife, bitches.

The whole emo thing was a joke, for the record.

Pajo, Judith: I can more-or-less relate to your stories, since the mother of one of my classmates from high-school died (from cancer, i think) while i was in my last year of high-school. I say more-or-less and not totally because she wasn't my friend, but i saw her crying and all and i wondered what must be going on in her head at the moment. And her mother had been a teacher in that school, so when she died they made an announcement for the whole school and when we graduated they mentioned it again. Poor girl, really.

One person from my university (one year older than me) also died recently (from some disease as well); it was pretty disturbing..

i think all the emo talk after was a joke... something to laugh after all the sadness in this thread.

True story (27 minutes already as it's true): I saw an old woman in a wheelchair being kicked the shit out of her in the street, and while I was away for 2 minutes getting popcorn to enjoy the show - everything was over

*sniff*

 

[Rayna]

What does EMO mean?

 

[Magrathean]

This is emo. And there's nothing wrong with it.

I'll take this as you being who you are and not take it so seriously.
But, in case that all what you said was true: I hope one day someone goes to get popcorn (like every decent human being ) while someone else kicks the shit out of you and enjoys the full show.
