Deaths three in a row

It's been a hard month...

A month and a half ago, I found out my dad died. In his office. Cardiac arrest. He had always promised me he would stay alive until I went to college. He had diabetes. It hurt. First major death of my life.

Then, two or so weeks ago, a teacher was accused of committing "lewd acts" to a student. Then he killed himself. It was okay, I guess. Since I didn't really know him.

An hour ago, I found out that one of my friends' body had washed on the shores of Richmond. She had been running away for quite a while...

I can't really deal with anything more.

Yeah, this is pointless. I get that. But these feeling need to go somewhere. If you do comment, please [i]please[/i] don't be an idiot about it...

It's good to write about your emotions. Psychology research strongly suggests that any kind of communication, whether it be writing in a journal, writing a pretend letter to those people who are causing the emotions, or talking to someone about how you feel can greatly improve psychological well-being. So keep doing it! Talk to someone, write or blog when you can't deal with it in your head anymore. Feel better soon.

Death is a part of life. The older you grow, the more you'll realize this. There are times to mourn, but there is a time to get over it.

The sooner you realize that everything dies, the sooner you'll be able to cope with it. The point of life is to be significant and have impact on others in a positive way. Be happy. Your father would want you to live in his name. He had you as a child. Your teacher.. well. I don't really care much about him. But he was probably guilty. Your friend's death is unfortunate; and for whatever reason, you'll see the world as a book that you can't comprehend. You may become more cynical toward others if she were murdered, or you may see the world as cruel if she killed herself. People will always come and go. It's best to accept it and move on. I understand that it's difficult to move on, but there is a sense of humility which comes from it after you do.

Death has been a part of my life for the last 3 and a half years. Well. Dodging death has been a part of my life for about 12 months of my last 3 and a half years. And experiencing death had been more specifically, amounting to several days of my last 3 and a half years.

Your friend went to my roommate's high school. We just talked about it, coincidentally.

When i was around 10 years old i survived a tragic Car accident. Our Car fell down the cliff and when i opened my eyes i saw my uncle on the edge of death. He died right in front of me.

1 year later my older cousin commited suicide blaming himself that he caused his younger brother to be addicted to drugs. He jumped off a freeway ramp and left me in the Car. I didnt find out that he died until 2 years later because the paramedics didnt let me come out. My parents didnt tell me either.

I also had about 3 cousins and 1 uncle die while serving in the army.

I can feel your pain TS

Just keep thinking positive and dont let sad emotions take over.

[quote=d4rkxStrIfe]I poisoned your father to induce cardiac arrest. He backed out of a business deal with my associates so he paid the price.
I murdered that teacher and framed it as a suicide. That teacher was actually innocent but the accuser's family paid me to murder him to make it look like he was guilty.
I killed your friend, did things to her body, then dumped her in the ocean. Because I felt like it.[/quote]

Ouchsies.

Oh yeah, just saw that story in the Examiner today. Wasn't aware that a Basiler would have connections with this person. My condolences for your loss.

[quote=mokuren]i'm sorry for your loss... and seeing that some people decided to be ignorant anyway, even after you asked them not to be an idiot about it, i advise that you just talk to a close friend instead because basil really is not the place[/quote]

Ha, no problem it's probably less than if I hadn't said that sooo

And ofc I went to my friends/family/gf/etc, I just had to like express myself everywhere at this point...

Thanks <3

You're not alone. 2 months back a girl committed suicide around my neighborhood and then a week after, there was a high school student with a gun on the loose just about 5 minutes away from where I live. He caused no harm except for driving and running from the cops, eventually he was surrounded and he ended up shooting himself dead.

The 2nd to last death I had to deal with was my friends brother. He was 30 years old, married with kids and semi-paralyzed waist down but he can drive. I don't know why it had to happen and why he thought the way he did but he drove his car into the lake and drowned while leaving a message to his wife.

I don't blame any of them but It's just not right and I know how you feel.

Fortunately I didn't have to go through something like this before and I can only imagine how you feel.
Two of my (ex) friends tried to commit suicide (fortunately failed), scared me a lot.

Either way, if you need to vent more feel free to write me.

My condolences to you.. :'( I've lost 3+ relatives and friends too, so I know your pain. Especially when time flies you feel better a bit and know they are in a better place but you miss them and they are forever gone. Especially the ones closest to you.
