I recently had a talk about death, losing someone you know, someone close, someone you love, etc.

So, in light of that, life as it is, is finite.  There are times when those we konw (you yourself) or maybe the forums know, will dissapear.  Gone to yesterday, gone to the dasy to come.  The things you will do, the things you wished you could have shared with them before they had gone.

This, BF2s, is my, your, our, whatever, dedication to those people.  Not so much to pine away, weep and sink into thier death, but to remember thier life.

Not to pine, bitch, whine or moan, but to merely state my credentials:  I have known a handful of people, close friends, loose acquaintances etc.  that Have died.

So this thread is to share stories, to vent, and to share stories, for the best from the worst, how to move on from losing someone you know.

For me, it was my step brother.  Step broter may sound a bit disconnected, but I know him since I was three years old, before I can remember.  He died in a car wreck on November 25th, the night of thanksgiving, after the bar closed.

He wasn't a local drunk, he had a steady job, and was looking to move to california from his college education.  A person hwo dies in a drunk drivingwreck is hard to clean up.  But He wasnt some party fool.  He just came home to visit friends and went too far.  He drove drunk, outside his hometown, and died in a wreck.

Now going from ther I can only say that lsoing him was terrible, but that's life.

Sitting here, thinking about it I have many thoughts, beliefs.  November 25th, 1999.... then, a good freind who was there for me when he died, lost HER OWN SISTER on December 25th 1999.  Christmas Day, ONE month later, exactly.

Fucked up days... and on that note, I ask you, those who have lost, what did you to cope?

For me, rather than go further, was to remember who there where, they loved life, and would want you too live the life they lost.

So, my friends, my forum Patrons, share if you like, with respect.....

If this thread dies...meh, all I asked was for those who have to help those who are.

I've seen people die in front of me, as have some of you.  I cope by carrying on with my life.  I would expect the same when I die.

I'm lucky yet. Death has been close, really close, but not close enough.

I've just buried my father a couple of weeks ago.. it's not easy, suddenly i'm supposed to have the answers to everything like I used to expect him to have, just deepens my respect for the man even more..

De-sensitization works in preparation for these types of situation.

I'm the kind of guy who can walk idly by a beach of dead babies.

I have a different view of death.  I don't see it as an end but more as a beginning or a returning.

I've lost many relatives and friends and didn't cry once.  Not because I didn't love them, I loved them greatly, but because I was happy for them.  It's also the reason I don't fear death myself.  Don't get me wrong... I don't want to die but if I have to go then let the adventure begin.

The greatest thing to come from death is the realization of just how important someone was in your life.  That realization is an incredible gift and I'm lucky to have that knowledge for those who've passed.

The only thing that I would have a hard time with would be burying my own children or my wife.  I don't know if I would want to go on after that.
