The problem is, i'm a white male, so the chances of my death being noticed are 1/1000000, so I guess I better start saving money for the hospital bills that I will end up paying for in the afterlife.

I can see you working out your hospital bills, sighing loudly, running your hands through your hair, stressing out from exorbitant costs. All while in the afterlife.

I'll make sure all of this happens so that you can die a happy man knowing that you predicted my afterlife.

:laughing:

One second we're grilling each other on our strong opinions of death, the next we're practically mocking it haha

Is death real?

Have to say I don't understand that. My mother died almost 25 years ago, my best friend about thirty, I still miss them like hell. Of course time heals but I can't see any way I would "get over" a significant death in 1-4 days. Just does not happen, not to me, and not to I think most people. I hope it works for you Ki but I do wonder when it's someone closer how easily that will pass for you. Hopefully it'll be a long time before you have to find out.

All that said, I still think posting four years after the event without qualifying the time elapsed is a little disingenuous. Definitely made me feel like it was a recent passing. Not that I'd have any less sympathy in the case of its being a longer time, but immediate loss does tend to elicit more of a reaction in terms of sympathy.
Don't waste your sympathy on him: he's the ****er who killed him!
There is a difference, man, and some day it may all become clear to you. Death is not something you just get over like that. It takes years, and even now it can bring tears in the right (?) circumstances...

I hope we all learned that everybody deals with grief differently. It's not just a simple process of "getting over it".

Jesus, I didn't want this to become the main focus for this thread. I am still not sure how there's a difference between losing my grandmother against losing one's brother, mom, dad. My grandmother played a huge role in my life and helped me become the person that I am today. To even suggest that isn't true is not only offensive but insensitive. I understand what you guys are saying, but we're just running in circles now.

I'm also not saying my way of dealing with death is the only way to deal with death, but i've found that it works for me and that's all I need.

He seemed to be getting his sh*t together at the time too.

I think it's this bit people are pissed about. You seem to be saying how come everyone can't deal with loss/death like I do, few days (or even years) and it's gone, I feel ok. But a lot of people, myself included, can and have taken even decades to get over the loss of a parent or someone close, and in some cases, it just never happens: they're always in your mind, heart and you never forget them or get used to not having them around.

To be quite honest, I'm very offended by your contention that everyone should just get over it, and you may say that's not what you're doing or saying, but looking at your quote above, whether it was intended or not, that is the message you gave us.
