How here has experienced death first hand

The nearest I have been to someone who has died was the next room while sleeping. I know this is dark, but it makes me wonder, how many people have truly been close to death.

I would say so; my point of inquiry is the supposition that many people joke about it, but have never really been close to it and are truly afraid of it.

Fearing the inevitable is not only irrational but a waste of time.

Agreed.

On topic: I was in the ski patrol for a while, and a kid snapped his neck doing a flip on the run I was responsible for at a time I was on duty. Feel free to figure the rest out yourself.

along with that, see the first line in my sig.

I watched my mother die in front of me from a stroke.

I have not been the same person since.

My condolences; my fear is my grandmother. For the last few years I have lived in the same house as her taking care of her knowing that she will pass. I fear the day I find her gone from this world. This is the same house that my grandfather passed in while I slept in the room nearby.

My brother is in the patrol and has seen some heinous stuff also.
 
The closest I've ever been, has pretty much been seeing a couple body bags along the road, while passing an accident site.

I find dead mice all the time and found one of my puppies dead firsthand, but human death I have never been first hand at the scene. I believe that it is a necessary part of our existence but our culture shields us from this pain unlike the rest of the world.

our culture shields us from alot. it seems like liberty to a degree. there's so much in this world, thats why i'm glad i was able to take philosophy as a minor (would have liked to majored in it but it wasn't offered)

Got shot in the hip. And no, I never worried that it might have been me.

dying from old age is one thing. Dying at 45 from a stroke in front of your kids is something else.

I expect my grandparents to die eventually and so it eases any worry about death.

here is a quote from, The Twilight Zone:

"Mother, give me your hand. You see. No shock. No engulfment. No tearing asunder. What you feared would come like an explosion is like a whisper. What you thought was the end is the beginning."

was there any warning that was about to happen?
 
I went on "The Superman" in Six Flags New England last year, and a few days later, some guy died on it.

Errr. nope.

Someone in my high school got in accident with a friend (car over railroad tracks = air time). Both got ejected I guess. The passenger died in the drivers arms.
