death * 3
    #18779993 - 08/31/13 01:16 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Death is unique each time I get to experience it. Not only is it a different person, it is a different day. How I would have reacted to this same death 10 years ago would probably be dramatically different than early Wednesday morning when we heard the news. Death is almost a taboo topic with children, shielding them from the experience early on. There is nothing more sobering than the death of a friend or family. Despite your religious preferences, death brings you more in touch with who you are more than any other experience I've shared. All the petty things you surround yourself with seem to wither instantaneously. Time is never enough, even 10 more minutes. The person is gone, forever. Clearing their contact number from your cellphone isn't as bad as calling over and over and over again hoping they will just pick up like they always did. It seems to stop time when the word comes through, as though something in the mechanics of the universe collapsed. You immediately recall the last time you saw the individual at the same time recollecting meeting them. It is a world divided among the rest knowing that no one grieves or copes like you. If there is one thing in my life that has helped me truly appreciate all that we do have, it is in death.

yeah death is fucked man. nothing good really comes out of it, unless its a catalyst for bettering and strengthening yourself.

it takes a while to sink in as well. doesn't feel real at first. especially if its someone close to you, you start to see them everywhere. like "oh wow hey is that....nope" type of thing.

but you gotta look back and remember the good times, not the bad. thats the key!

one of the things that stuck with me is the eyes of the dead....

Thanks man. I have a funeral at 10AM that has been looming over my head since Wednesday :sad: been drinking and smoking pot all night

@soulidarity
It really doesn't feel real. The worst is seeing them and realizing that they aren't anymore,, weird how it always makes me so sad too. It isn't like a boohoo sad either, it is like a lump in your gut. Nothing feels that gap and nothing makes you forget about it either, except time.

hahahaha, time doesn't make it go away, you just continue on with your life.

its been 10 years.

i'm crying right now just from writing this.

there is plenty of time to grieve and plenty of time to live.  If i could magically erase the memory of loss, I don't think i would do it.  Its an important experience.  There are some good important things i don't believe can be learned without loss.

I think for myself, i learned to truely cherish things a little bit better.

Please forgive me. I just mean to say time separates you from the traumatic experience of losing the loved one, but nothing can replace them. What always leaves me awake at night is imagining every person this individual knew and interacted with. Even though they may be gone, they as a person will exist in memories, stories and rest eternally in the minds of those who knew them. It is a very weird experience when you see something happen that hasn't in a long time; the first thing that comes to your mind is words that someone who has past left with you, as your immediate response to the situation was from them. Their place in others life's is perennial.

i'm guessing this has just happened pretty recently,

if i'm correct, then at this stage it's more about just maintaining. keep yourself healthy. keep up your routines. just keep going through the motions of daily life as you normally would.


once it starts to hit home, its important to take your time to grieve. i dunno how your brain works, or what works for you. but some people like to get some closure. or say goodbye mentally in their brain. visit the grave site and talk to their passed relative or something. i dunno what it is. but what im saying is, you have to take time to deal with the feelings and resolve them, or handle them in some way. not just sweep it under the rug and dread the thought kind of thing.


and usually you'll come to some kind of peace about it. or some kind of resolution. acceptance. thats when you look back and do all of the "what would <person> want me to do with my life" "<person> would be happy knowing im doing this" that type of shit and start channeling all of that energy into positive avenues.


my best advice is to just follow your instincts. you know yourself better then anyone else does. do whatever works for yourself!



i like to think that the people who were close to me who have died still watch over me. kind of like they are checking to make sure i don't fuck up. i'm pretty crazy but i swear sometimes i can hear them talk to me. its pretty cool. like sometimes i get into situations, where i realize an opportunity, and i hear in their exact voice some kind of encouraging affirmation like " go get 'em " or i dunno. i couldn't really put it into words in a way you would understand it. its just feels i get that they are still with me. and to be honest i like that. its comforting to me!






also as kimbo said, it always stays a bit of a raw nerve type of thing. but i mean i also kind of enjoy reminissing and shedding a few tears over the whole situation. not all the time cos it bums me out, but every now and then i almost think its kind of healthy. :shrug:




who was it that passed if you don't mind me asking?

the representation of themselves in one's memory is all that's left of the passed; and as there is none left in their physical form, i take it the rest of the form of "their reality" takes shape in the consciousness of others'.

Well that funeral was disheartening. I was asked to speak at it nearly 10 times this week, but kept rejecting every offer. I didn't know what I was going to say so it didn't feel right. The thought of standing in front of my uncle's best friends and family and being at a loss for words was terrifying. Today, however, was different. I decided to speak and was the last speaker (other than than the pastor). I spent about 10 minutes just talking to my Uncle, letting him know that he would have given me the courage to speak today and what is proper etiquette to say as a eulogizer. I knew him differently than everyone, even his wife and two children. The pastor afterwards made a joke that my speech was touching and borderline hysteric. Now my mom is saying that how I am handling my feelings isn't healthy and offered to send me to a therapist. I'm fucking sad not crazy. I just miss my friend. Everyone else seemed to receive closure today and the whole experience aside from my 10 minutes to speak with him was annoying. Sorry for all these long winded posts... I don't do any social media and this is an outlet where everyone is tolerant, open minded and even sometimes understanding. I'm going to go get drink now and try to pass out. This day seems a lot longer than 8 hours already
