im really sorry for you doug.
my aunt died 2 years ago i was already depressed but she killed herself and ive never been the same since. she was younger than my mom she wasnt supposed to die first! now im so scared that my mom will die because the order ewasnt right i know that sounds stupid but there it is. the only thing that stops me is that i dont want my little sister to feel like i feel now about my aunt.

last april my sister who is a year older than me was in a horrible car wreck that almost killed her and at one point i thought i lost my sister. I remember the moment where her lungs gave out and she stopped breathing for 7 minutes and 22 seconds. But the year before my uncle died of aids and i remember laying in my bed at 6 30 in the morning crying when my mom was talkin about it outside my bedroom. I think moments like that you never forget and they change you.

This December 23, my 14 year old cousin died because she had a type of cancer from getting a transplant. The stupid doctors didn't check for everything and so she died. Her death was preventable. I remember the night when my sister told me that she died. She woke me up at about 3 in the morning crying and my siblings and i sat crying in the living room until my parents came home from the hospital. My mom saw her die

My mom died this past Saturday. I wasn't with her when she died, but I wish I had been. I was at my friend's house, and my sister called to tell me that mom had died. We all thought she was getting better but apparently she had a clot in her brain that no one could predict.

You are right about these moments staying with you ... I will never forget the moment my sister told me on the phone. I was standing in my friend's kitchen and I remember my eyes getting all full of tears and my friend screaming "oh my god." The worst moment of my life.

your definately rite bout the moments

i member the exact way my friend told me our m8 had committed suicide, i member my closest friends breaking down rite next to me n i went into automatic trying to comfort my m8s b4 it sunk in..

I can also remember the exact moment i was told my friend had died, i became the "strong" one supporting all my friends, and it didn't hit me for a while, and by the time i did begin to grieve everyne else seemed to be over him.

when i was 6 years old, my only friend in the whole world died, my baby brother. he was 3. my mothers drug-abusing boyfriend beat him to brain damage. i witnessed most of it...and you're right..its something you never forget. but at some point in your life, you have to realize that it happened, it can't be changed, everything happens for a reason and never give up..because at some point, believe it or not..life will get better.

I remember the first time that I heard Zack had comitted suiced. I was talkin' to him mom on the phone and she just started cryin' I asked what was wrong she did speak, then his dad got on the phone and said "you better come to my house I need to show you something." So I did. When I got there 'dad' (as I call him) gave me Zack's ring and told me. I thought he was kidding around. I ran into his room and Zack wasnt there like normal. It took me a long time to relize that he was gone. I would keep going to call him then remember that he's not here anymore. He was my bestfriend, my brother! I'm still not over it and I really do hope it doesnt happen to you, because it's not easy to deal with.

I'm 14 and he was 17! Hard to take it when you're this young.

I'm Sorry doug.
My father died last October (2006) in a car wreck. I was in the hospital when my best friend and now brother told me. My mom had brain cancer and recently died. (July 4th 07)
