Whoa... I just watched my neighbour die
 

it's 11.20pm Eastern time, and the lady next door comes screaming and knocking at my door. Her hubby is having a heart attack she thinks. I tell my wife to call 911 and I run over and he is lying on the ground just staring at me. He was pronounced dead at the scene... Im fucking shaking as I type this..
I feel fucked up right now. seriously cannot believe it.

:(

I have seen death a couple times.It haunts you forever

that fuckin bites.... sorry to hear that. I hope it's not gotten to you too much...

OMG, that sucks so bad.... :(

Not something anyone wants to watch happen :(

:(
Damn...

She's feeling alot worse right now. Make sure you take the
time out tomorrow to go an sit with her for awhile.

Viewing trauma such as that can be hard...

I saw a lady right after she got hit by a train.. that was not fun.. kinda changed my view on life a little after...

That sucks... How long did it take for help to arrive? Did you guys give any chest compressions beforehand?

wow that sucks. Sorry to hear that

Bullshit...haunt is a strong word there. Well...maybe you..its different for everyone though . Anyways...yea thats harsh , try to take a breath, thats just nature man...
I guess it would be kinda scary with your neighbour freakin out n your face...
you did all you could do...
peace

it felt like it literally took hours, but in reality it was a matter of minutes.

You are a douche bag for lying.

Pics?

Well your right.
I seen my neighbour after he killed his dog and blew off his head with a shotgun about 20 years ago.
I also seen a dude get his head run over by a truck while on his motorcycle,I always remeber that like it was yesterday ,when it happened so many years ago.I'm sure people have seen worse

I remember when I was 17 and saw this young man (maybe in his twenties) lying on the ground holding his head and rolling back and forth. He had just been shot in the head with a .22 and you could see the pain and anguish on his face. I felt helpless because there was nothing I could do to help him and I heard that he died later that day because the ambulance never got there in time.

i've seen a person almost drown. luckily he managed to survive, but the process of death is something that reaches out and presses something inside that is unexplainable

yea, I saw my friend hanging when i got up one morning...but you think, fuck this...I aint gonna carry anyone elses baggage around...life is too short.
I close friend of mine died in his sleep too, still...life goes on...all of us in life are stronger than death ...proof is in the puddin' lol.
Glad you didnt take my post personally though cause it wasnt meant to be mean
cheers

Just shows us life is too short. Sad to hear you had to go through that. :(

...on a lighter note...after i read about your motorcycle story..lol.. I know a guy (who didnt die...) but T-boned a car and his body was flung into the side door of a van (he was on a bike) and now he has the imprint (like a chalk outline of his body...) on the door and it hangs over his couch in his living room...its so funny and a grat converation piece.
None the less
I hope SeX can get on with things :)

Damn man, sorry to hear that.

Yes seeing someone die in front of you is very hard.

When I was about 12 or 13 I saw my father die in my mothers arm, it wasn't fun at all. Specially seeing a love one pass on right before your eyes...Just stay positive man.

My husband died right in front of my eyes, he was sitting in his wheelchair and not breathing too well.. I was holding his breathing machine up so he could take a treatment, and his head was slumped onto his chest mouth open.. I didn't realise he'd stopped breathing until I saw how white he was, I felt his cheeks and they were cold and his lips were blue, no heartbeat, and he wasn't breathing.. omg.. I was was in panic..

I tilted his head back held his nose and breathed into his mouth a few times, his lungs made a rattling sound when I did that.. and he started to come back. All three of my kids were there with me, one holding his head up one holding the nebulizer to his mouth, and one holding his shoulders so he wouldn't fall out of his chair. After a few minutes of that, we lifted him onto his bed, and continued to give him the medicine then called 911.. they came and took him to the hospital, and he died a very slow and awful death 5 days later.

I wish I'd let him die the first time.. it was awful

he had emphysema and very bad asthma.. and yes.. he smoked.. everyone asks me that

I never want to go through something like that again.. I hope I don't have to

sorry my post got fucked up
Just wanted to express my condolences to the woman whose husband died from smoking...hopee you were able to go with your life for yourself and your kids...that is sad , life goes on...

sometimes I just want to talk about it .. you know? it helps, it happened in june.. it seems like yesterday

shit on his head and take pictures.

what?

Crazy shit man.. Sorry to hear.

How about I CRACK OPEN your head and take pictures you fucking cocksucker. Grow the fuck up, bitch.

I hope you don't have to either..I smoke also and know it could kill me but I don't care.My condolences ,that is a terrible stroke of luck :(

If you haven't already, you might think about taking some CPR courses - the next time something like that happens you will be better prepared to help. What if it was one of your loved ones and you didn't know how to help them?

you know what spunky1? I smoke too.. so I must not care either.. that makes me sad

Wow talk about a superior vocabulary.

And saying shit on a dead person's head and take pictures is "superior" to you? You won't be around here long, trust me :glugglug

aww.. just ignore him demented, pretty soon his mom will come in and tell him time for lights out ;)

:1orglaugh

seeing death up close does stay with you - when i was about 8 i saw them bring up a drowned kid who got caught in an undertow in the canal where we swam and we were told not to. he was blue and i can see the whole scene 30 years later in my mind.
I also saw an elderly man die of a heart attack on a driveway down the street. it doesn't haunt you really but it does stick in the memory.

my mother watched a man fall from a 17th floor hotel balcony on vacation in Colombia - 10 feet away from her poolside. SPLAT!
She was haunted by it for about 6 months, she had lots of nightmares for awhile.

I took care of my father in his last few days. He was in the hospital dying of emphysema and lung cancer but wanted to come home. There's always something you wish you had done differently when your caring for dying family. You just have to do the best you can and not look back.

so sorry you had to go thru that. I'm at a loss for words except that experiences like these help us appreciate the loved ones we have in our lives so try to take that out of it

:(

Death in whatever aspect is really frightening.

Ugh! Sorry to hear that... reminds me of when I saw a dude get killed by a croc.:(

POP QUIZ

If your husband is having a heart attack, you should:

a. Immediately call 911
b. Run over and ask the pornographer next door for help.

What a sad experience! Hope you've recovered by now.

My mother was an RN when she was in her 20's at University of Pennsylvania Hospital. My father's father was her patient. He died in her arms of a massive stroke. My father started dating her shortly thereafter.

Strange way to meet and thank God my grandfather decided to go to that hospital when he didn't feel right and my mother was assigned to be his nurse or I wouldn't be here typing right now.

Nice to see you made it back to the forum though:2 cents:

Death is always hard to deal with.

when the cruel and heartless people that posted in this thread look back at what they wrote, do they wonder to themselves.. how could I be that way?

I know I do...

graphicsbytia, your story really shook me up. I'm so sorry to hear that. I cant even begin to imagine what you and your kids are going through. :(


KRL, sad but also beautiful story. Quite often I think, shortly after the loss of a loved one, comes a positive life altering experience.
