what was the scariest moment in your life?

Question

for me, it was that one brief second that i saw my brother standing in the doorway of the hospital cafeteria. my father was upstairs, fighting for his life. looking at my brother, i just knew what he was going to say even before he said it. and it was also at that moment that i knew i would no longer have my father there with me. to laugh with. to talk to the tv with. to sit and drink ice tea with on warm summer evenings. all that scared the hell out of me.

Answer 1

the moment right as i was about to find out if i was pregnant!!

Answer 2

Mine scariest moment was something similiar. There was a time when my Dad used to drive irrationally, I swear he was trying to kill me, swerving all over the road, treating the road like it's a mere vehicle into heaven. I was so, deathly afraid of riding in the car with him, but worse, what was going to happen if he did not have his license revoked.

As much as he seriously hated any authorities showing any concern over his behaviour, I admitted to the officials that his driving was way out of control and he is not well. Dad lavishly poured out guilt over me all throughout the week after, blaming his bad driving on me, telling me I am the reason he's sick and the reason he was taken to the police station. The reason he cried every damn day since his second marriage collapsed. I was completely thrown, because he'd always been a very loving and passionate father, just not emotionally well. I knew I had done something to hurt him, and I knew somebody was going to pay for the damages... But, what I didn't know is that this was my last chance to try and save him from his apparent hells.

Just a week after the police had stopped by our home on account of 2 reports of him driving like there's just no tommorrow, a friend calls me even 4 hours after my father was hit and killed by an innattentive rig driver. My Grandfather was taken with him, but Grandpa held on 'till much later that evening.

But, that was it. I often feel that I should have been the one to go with him, because I've been so far and deep with him, that it doesn't feel right that he left without me. Even so, driving with him all these years, I should know that if he's going some where, he's taking somebody with him. But why did he have to take Grandpa too?

Answer 3

well, I would have to pick two answers, the first one happened when i was 11 years old( I am now 28) I was at that time in my life into ouige boards, and the dark side of stuff, and my mom kept warning me to stop fooling around with things I didnt understand, sure enough, one night in the middle of July, I woke up at exactley 1:00am, and I had never did this before so I knew somthing was wrong, it was also icey cold,( we had no air condtioner) It was dead silent, and I was increasingly getting more scared by the second, Then it happened, I felt these cold fingers touch the back of my neck and kept going until it reached the bottom of my back and nothing, it got warmer again, and I couldnt scream, or run because I was paralized with fear, what finnaley seemed an hour, I got the courage to get up and wake my mother , with my eyes full of tears, she went and checked my room and found nothing, needles to say, it took me weeks before I could sleep with out the light and my t.v. going!!!

Answer 4

either a similar situation for me, when I was at school and my older brother was missing.. and when they called me out of class I knew..

or when I was 8, going down a slide at a water park and I came up on the side of the slide and could see down to the ground below... I thought for sure I was going over... and I would have.. but the guy who went behind me outweighed me and actually caught up to me at that moment and pulled me down before I dropped off.

Answer 5

It was when I dreamed I was married to Greta Van Susteren.
