i drove past a cyclist that was dying in the middle of an intersection. he was bleeding out his head with ppl surrounding him. the distance the blood sprayed is something i won’t forget.

i’ve seen cadavers both in a lab and left out to decay in the environment for research purposes. it’s still intense like actually seeing and smelling it.

Yeah saw my father pass on the hospital bed. It was traumatizing stuff, as most in this thread know. It's a very surreal and gut wrenching experience, especially if it's a family member.

on new years eve like a decade ago I was with a friend walking to the store to get some blunts and we walked down this street where there were dudes just posted up shouting out their gang and dissing the other, thing is they were on the border of where the other gang street start so just basically asking for problems

as we walk out the store I see dudes I knew from my block and just gave them a.head.nod and say wassup, they were like 15 feet infront of me and my friend. We see them turn the corner going down the same street we walked up from and idk if i just high af but I didnt even put two together as we turned the corner our selves the guys I knew wernt visible anymore and in that same moment we just hear loud pops and see this kids body almost tilt and instantly fall.

we ran the other way around and didnt go back, kid who passed away was like 15 and it was infront of his house

Yep, took me a while to process it
Helped me face and come to terms with my own mortality in a more fundamental way, however

You would think seeing a raw dead body would be more or less the same as seeing one in a casket. NOPE. I’ve seen multiple. The 2 specific I’ll speak on is my homie (RIP G) and my dad.

When I was a fresh 17 about a week after my birthday my homie got killed. Was taking to him when he was walking down the street. Went to cut my back yard. Lawnmower running so I didn’t hear shots. I casually take a break and check my phone my homegirl texting telling me he’s dead I’m like nah I just saw him. Welp. Walked down the street and there he was just laid flat out. This happened at like 6ish PM. They ain’t move his body until like 4 AM. I remember that night being so creepy because the whole hood pulled up just standing around his body the entire night all of us just looking. I still have that image in my head today. It f***s me up. Bonus complaint: dude who killed him was someone else I grew up with at my first middle school. Didn’t even do 10 before he got released. S***s crazy

When my dad died last year he died in the house. We knew he only had a couple of days. My mom called me downstairs and told me she thinks he was gone and wanted me to check to make sure. My entire skin crawled looking at him. It just didn’t feel right but I knew I couldn’t just walk away. My grandma died In our home too but I was shielded from looking at her since I was only in 5th grade. Shielded from her face at least. So the memory isn’t fresh. My dad however it was just so hard to see. I also have it imprinted in my mind

I seen a senior lying on the pavement people was around him nothing much

I was going home to get something took me 5-10 mins and I come back same road and they had a blanket over him so I was like I was a little kid

Also I seen once some guy getting his whole head mushed by a truck I'll never forget that scene

Yeah grandma. But nothing like your experience. That must be terrifying OP

Yeah this

Let's say...a few

Yeah. I feel you.
How did u handle with life?

Seen plenty but all of them from OD or homicide never a suicide especially someone hanging from a tree damn OP sorry to hear that don't be afraid to get help if you need it

I’m so sorry you had to witness that. That type of s*** can f*** up someone’s mental. I’d go talk about it if I were you. That s*** is really traumatizing. I’m praying for your strength.

I work at retirement home and that’s honestly one of my biggest fears when I do my wellness checks.

How is she doing now?

Dam you saw sonic kill a child?

Injury free and living a normal life:)
Was a matter of seconds but happy she well

I said in another post that I just know I was doing what I could to help. And most of the people I’ve seen die finally put an end to pain and suffering

I’ve seen young and healthy people have untimely deaths but when it’s your time it’s your time

I think it would be different if I experienced a ton of murders or suicides and stuff like that. I’m sure that takes a bigger toll on people

I've seen a nigga lit up while he was on the ground after getting shot when I was about 4 or 5 if that counts.

Saw what looked like a dead homeless guy on my way to school couple years ago

Very sorry to hear OP

I found my mother dead when I was 18. I don't think I've ever fully recovered but helped me mature and appreciate the ones still around even more.

My condolences brother. Is your father still with you?

Thank you, and yes
