Have you ever had someone pass away and you were amazed?

Question

that the world just kept on turning? I know this may sound silly. But, have you ever loved anyone that deep, that you just knew the world would stop turning should something happen to them? And there you stand wondering how are you ever going to survive without this person in your life?

daisymae, I could never get used to not sitting my brothers place at the dinner table.

Answer 1

more than once. Honey.
But life does go on.
I send you hugs.

Answer 2

I worked for a long time in a hospice with mainly young guys and also I still do some work in A&E so I am used to dealing with death, but it still gets to me, even though I am not involved personally, that there is this person who has just died, and I am able to go out of the room and everything is still going on as before.I hope that this is just an acedemic question on your part and that nothing bad has happened to you. If it has then I am really sorry, If you are in love with someone that much that you cant imagine your life without them, then I am really happy for you.My partner is a ships captain and has to be at sea during very bad weather at times. I often wonder what would I do if I got a phone call to say something bad had happened. I cant imagine my life without him, but I know that he would want me to be strong and live my life to the full.

Answer 3

I lost my husband in a sudden w/o warning.
On Friday, we still went to dentist and to hair dresser together, Saturday morning at 7 he felt he wanted to go to hospital. On the way ( which is only 15 minutes trip, he was sweating badly,) Doctor said he had heart attacked ( we never knew that he had heart problem) and only 30% of the heart was working ( Infark). Sunday morning still chatting, afternoon he said he was pain I told the doctor , then he gave him something.. injected , then he said " I am black out" ......that's it.

For months, I didn't know what to do. I lost my vision. I dont know what all the materials, the sweet memories, the arguments we had, for.
I felt life so meaningless.

But, as you say : the world just keep on turning.

I still have my parents (both). Seems they have more life than I do.
At the moment, what i do is , just "turning around with the world" .
I am sure, one day I'll find my "life" again. I dont know how.
I dont know how to walk my life w/o my husband, we were always together, we worked together. He was the one who laid the path, I was the one who filled it in.
Now he's not around ..........
Meanwhile, I spend lots of time here in Y Q/A, and tried to sell our house.

Answer 4

No. I have a very realistic viewpoint on life (or so I think). It just keeps on moving along...with you...or without you. There are plenty of people I wish were still here with me, but can't stop the world from turning. Deep love or not. So I just haven't set myself up for that.

Answer 5

My father and I were fishing, when I was very young,I remember looking at his back,from the rear of the boat, thinking what would I do if something happened to him,then saying to myself ,no nothing ever will,he is so big and strong,nothing could ever harm, in 1972 when he passed away, I truly was amazed.I still remember those thoughts I had,as a child,and wonder in amazement of the depths of a child's thoughts. God Bless

Answer 6

I remember when my brother died and for me, the world did stop turning for a while. When I cried, I felt like I could not breathe, it hurt so much. I was in shock because he was only 44. The plan was for all of us (my sister) to grow old together.

But I managed to think of the good memories, during my mourning and this helped me survive my grief.

Answer 7

Losing all of my grandparents was a sad time in my life. But losing my brother suddenly 8 months ago has left me feeling pretty empty. We were so close. I have 2 brothers left, had no sisters.
Yes, I thought how can life just go on but I worried more about the effect it had on my parents. It does get easier as time goes on.

Answer 8

I was almost 9 years old, when my Mother was killed in a car accident. Back then kids (or adults either) didn't go to psychological counseling, you just lived through it and moved on.
It was however, very difficult to understand how the world just kept going. We were blessed ( and still blessed) with having the Dad that we have.

Answer 9

Yes, my daughter 5 years ago and the pain is just as bad today when I see her photo or some other small memory as it was the day she died. A parent should never out-live a child.

Answer 10

Actually not. I view death as a release, which relieves all the worries of life for the deceased. When my mother died I was happy for her, as I think she wanted me to be. Death is just a fact of life, surely we are all going to die. I had two sisters that were slightly older then me that died and again I felt only happy for them, as the worries of life were no longer something they had to deal with. Surely I miss them, but I don't feel sad for myself because of their deaths and I believe I will see them again anyway.

Answer 11

YES!!! My mother died of cancer in Sept. of 1999 and that is exactly how I felt. It's still hard even 8 years later almost. People keep telling me to get over it! My uncle told me I was way up in my twenty's when I lost her. I should be able to handle it. I wish they would all just shut the F**K up!!!! It gets easier with time. It will get easier. I'll keep you in my prayers. God bless!!
