And I mean while you were alive and able to realize what happened. So you don't have to go "uhm ya 100 yrz ago"
No. I'm very lucky. Hopefully nothing like that happens for a very, very long time.
Why yes, a family member. Quite a few times actually.
Well, my mom's cousin's mom died while were in Syria. She had a stroke.
But it was like the first time in my life I saw her. Golly, my mom knew more what to do while she was hospitalized than the doctors themselves.
I've had both.
My great grandmother died in December 2005 and my friend died 3 months ago.
My mom -sighs-
Only family.
A friend of mine friend hung himself. Two longtime family friends died of lung cancer. Neither of them smoked, interestingly enough.
My grandpa (he kicked ass) and my great grandma (never really knew her that well so I felt bad that I wasn't like extremely sad)
My dad, grandma, grandpa, and friend have died. Carla...
My uncle 4 years older than me, my dad, sister and a good friend last night. edumacate;
When I was about 8 or so, my friend Brenna died of cancer. She was considerably older than me, but we still got along well. I wasn't nearly as affected by it all as her family, but...it was still quite painful.
And as for family members, my grandfather died a few years ago. Surprisingly, both of my great grandparents are still alive, though I don't expect them to live more than another 2 or 3 years. They're in horrible shape.
aunt died ;_;
No one close to me has died, so I never really know how to act when others aren't as fortunate.
Yes. My Mother when I was 13, and my Grandmother when I was 11 I think.
Both of my grandparents died, my nephew died when he had surgery [spoiler]because his intestines were born OUT OF HIM[/spoiler], 2 of my uncles died.
I don't know if this counts or not but my grandfather died of cancer about 2 months before I was born.

Doesn't count.
Last year, a friend died right before the prom :'( I felt bad for her date.
my grandfather who i was really close to.
and one of my very very close friends in 4th grade, she died of steven johnsons syndrom :/
also my mom and brother have both come really reallly close to dying.
my brother was airlifted to a hospital because of a dirtbiking accident, but he survived.
and my mom was in a car accident, her car flipped a few times.

If she was dead before that and the life support was the only thing keeping her alive it was best for her to be taken off.
Also, sorry. poppy;

Yes, that's what I'm thinking. Life support just doesn't help that much. It just forces someone that needs to die to stay alive longer.
I'm sorry for your loss as well.
thanks jmv and gcd.
i'm kind of still in shock.
i'm not gonna make the movie tonight, i don't think i'm up to it.
