What would you do if the person closest to you died in front of you?I just want to see some of the responses I'll get.Now people are probably saying "But you don't care" or whatever, and I probably don't. But look at it this way: You giving me your responses would help me out

What would you do...

That happened with my great-grandma, she was my favorite relative but ended up having my grandma take care of her, that eventually shove her in some fucked up old-folks home where she ended up strapped to a bed so she wouldn't "hurt herself", and I was there when she died, with this look in her eye that can only be describe as pain. She couldn't really remember who we all were, or why she was strapped to a bed, and I'll never forget that look in her eye or forgive my grandmother for putting her in that place. I dealt with it by... crying, a lot and being quiet, dealing with my thoughts for a while, I didn't talk to anyone about it, and I still wouldn't. I don't deal with things by telling people what happeened, as much as just being completely silent for a few days.

How long ago was this and how old were you?Does it still make you cry?Do you ever have nightmares about it? If yes, a lot?How has it changed your view on life?

I was 17, going to be 21 in 5 days. When I think about it, and I'm hormonal it does.No, not anymore.Not really, I still... hold onto a pretty good outlook on life, I try to remember her when she was telling me about he trips to Africa or India, I really admire and respect her. The woman strapped to the bed in no way resembled my great-grandma, so I try to push that out.

Anyone else?

My Mom died at home while I was holding her. She had cancer and we knew she was ready to go. There were about a dozen family members there when she died. It was tough. I cried but we all were prepared for it.I was about 32 at the time.I don't have nightmares or cry about it.Hasn't really changed much for me. It's tough on you for a while, but it's part of lifes cycle.

This has never happened to me, but it happened to my little brother when he was in high school. It was really hard to watch him go through it, but he was a trooper about it.I'm sorry this happened to you. I think you're doing a wise and healthy thing by soliciting feedback from other folks who have experienced this. Just remember thought that it's YOUR pain and YOUR experience and you don't want to let others define how you should experience it.Hang in there pal.
