stand by me style

that movie is fucking rad.

I've seen dead people being 'tended to' by cops and medical examiners, but never just stumbled up on a body.

 

That may be one of the reasons the mainstream media in particular countries generally stays away from the subject, unless it is a suicide of a celebrity.

Suicide is in the top ten causes of death in the U.S., up there with homicides. Yet, very little attention is given to it by the mainstream media. Homicides are in the news incessantly.

Ive seen hundreds of dead bodies in Iraq.. ..some of them Americans...

 

Out side of funerals...just one but I didn't know for sure at the time.

This was a couple years ago. I had come home from one of my very infrequent visits to the gym and there were cops, an ambulance a fire truck and a couple of volunteer responder vehicles in my parking lot and most of my neighbors were standing around outside. My first thought was a fire, but saw no immediate evidence of one.

I had no more stepped out of my truck when the EMT's and volunteer guys carried out the guy who lived across the hall from me. He did not look good at all. Once the ambulance left (with no lights or sirens) I went upstairs. His friends came and emptied his apartment a couple days later.

 

thats sad

 

When I was 5, my 3 year old brother died in my arms. It seems to have more of an effect on me now that I'm older and a mother vs. when I was younger and didn't entirely understand what was going on.

I could never imagine stumbling upon someone who was murdered. That would totally f*ck me up.

 

ill be completely honest. I wish I would of never came back home. people I know just dont have a clue what I witnessed and they really dont care. to them as long they got their gasoline everything is okey dokey artichokey..

its like people that deny the holocaust... its truly sad..

 

i saw stand by me last month.

 

My best friend has served three tours in Iraq and he had to carry out those closest to him when he was one of the last two men standing in an airraid. He came back with serious long term psychological damage that might never repair. He woke up screaming every night for months.

 

yeah i dont think anyone will fully understand until they see it themselves unfortunately , i wouldnt be able to handle it at all.. i just saw movies about it and even that made me cry haha ...

i hope your ok <3

I was trying to avoid mentioning a long ago war- as a tradional ceremony
-Yes Ive accidently come across a decomposing corpse- but enuff said bout that
much peace&respect
jack-

 

i really don't know what i would do if i saw a dead body , i cant really tell you my reaction

 

I went fishing once and came across a man who had gassed himself in his car.

 

I came across the victim of a car crash who was clearly dead

Oddly enough I was biking at the time when I passed the accident and her faced was right out of a scene from the movie night of the living dead, except she wasn’t animated – just dead


Hotwater

 

A cousin who had a heart attack and died alone in a farm field. Found him and called 911. He had been dead for a couple of hours when we found him.

 

one of my close friends that oded, and it was one of the most traumatizing things I have ever seen. : (

 

I watched my father die. I wouldn't call it traditional or a ceremony.


I've also driven past a few cadavers under sheets at the scene of accidents.

 

thats awful. does anyone remember a year or two ago when that guy that committed suicide did a live stream of his suicide on the internet and several people sat there and watched it but did absolutely nothing. Of course, I guess when you're watching an anonymous person die via the internet, there isn't really a lot you can do..but I think I would walk away, i cant imagine just sitting there watching that.

did you eventually become desensitized to it? I know war and resulting PTSD is a pretty personal thing and you probably don't want to talk about it but i would love to hear your perspective if you ever feel like sharing.

I've never seen a dead body but I thought I did once so I kind of know what it feels like. I was driving on a deserted highway at night a couple of years ago and passed by what looked like a large man dressed in black pants and a white shirt lying on the side of the road. It completely creeped me out; i cant even explain the feeling. I got off on the next exit and went back to check it out and it turned out to be a white trash bag and a black trash bag that someone tossed out. The way the bags were spread out on the ground, it really did look exactly like a person dressed in black and white.

a friend of mine got in a wreck. He was fine but the person in the other car died in his arms. I can't even imagine watching a stranger die like that; seems like a very intimate moment. My friend doesn't talk about it that much but I know it hit him really hard.
