Does it bother you that one tragedy can wipe you out?

I have the serenity to accept the things I cannot change and the courage to change the things I can.

I have never heard of such thing because that would mean losing business. But I did hear of a few incidents that led to death! :| Sorry, I don't mean to scare you...

I think that when something terrible happens, its human nature to want to be optimistic. Can you imagine how it would feel to hear that someone you know was "dead" instead of being "missing"? It's like killing all hope that they may still be alive. It doesn't happen often, but miracles do happen and it doesn't hurt to have a little hope. The media is not often very considerate of the words they choose, but when they say "went missing" they do sound somewhat compassionate.

This may not be much comfort, but most people have screwed up families.   However there are only a few like you and I that will admit it.    My family is the same, sometimes it gets so bad I have to stay away from some of them for months on end.    I have learned that they may be my family, but sometimes you have to put some distance between you and  them for survival..

I once killed someone driving a car (the man was beat up and left in the middle of a dark road at midnight by two men- they were charged with murder.)\n\nIf you've ever run over someone in a car, killing them, you would know it's not the most pleasant topic, even if you weren't at fault(my case) or simply not paying attention (Laura Bush's case). I killed the guy in the road about 5 years ago and I hope no one brings it up 35 years from now. I still have nightmares about it from time to time. I feel bad about what happened even tough it was so dark there was no chance for me to have stopped in time. Imagine how she must feel knowing she went through a stop sign and killed her boyfriend ? (You've never gone through a stop sign for whatever reason ?)\n\nTry to have some empathy. She probably thinks about it almost every day. You don't know if Hilary would be crucified over it or not.

yup lots of ppl do.... in my case its a recurring phenomenon..... like a cycle or something.... and when it comes, i'm very close to ending everything.... but then something always stops me.... cos, there are lots of things in this world to live for and fewer reasons to die for.... all i can say is, take it easy on urself and stop feeling so sorry for urself.... u gotta make friends and family... and once u get them, wouldnt that be worth living for?

You never get over it, somehow you have to get on with your life. I know its not easy, but if can get comfort in your music thats great. When I lost my mom I kept on thinking that she just went someplace and she would be home later, I still kind of feel that way, dont worry, someday you will see her again.

Yes it does! \n\nIt did for me. After my cousin died (over 10 years ago) I found myself incredibly empathetic in situations that I used to shrug off - I still am. I still cry when I hear about someone else's pain form losing someone, even when other's can keep it together - because it just brings me back to the day that Seth died. It's ok to feel that way, it actually makes you a better person and good friend to those who are going through what you've already experienced. I'm sorry to hear about your sister.\n\nSometimes I have incredibly vivid dreams where Seth and I just hang out together - like we did when we were teenagers, just before he died. It's great because I wake up feeling like I've spent the day with him, but then I feel like I've lost him all over.\n\nIt may seem ridiculous to still be so affected after 10 years, but Seth was my best friend, I don't think I'll ever get over this. It does (as they say) get better though. Hang in there.

It can make you angry or depressed.

Sometimes, if you have a significant hardship.

i think it really bothers Jesus,  to be constantly reminded   of one of the most horrible moments in his life.every year we celebrate his death, like a bunch of sick-o ghouls,, and worship his suffering--makes me sick to my stomach.\n\nhe not on the cross any more , and we  as a culture should stop torturing him.\n\nwe should love him as a fellow human being.\n\nand see him happy, healthy, and alive, living his own life--out there some were.

That's because it is no game or recreation to talk about these things, as you said they are catastrophes and they affect many people in the world. Yes people like you or me can die or have their famillies/friends killed or worse vanished from the surface of the earth and whoever thinks it's funny or is to laugh about must be ashamed of hin/herself!

No and I don't think most people do.\n\nIt depends on exactly what happened as to how you get over it.\n\nThe death of someone you love is the hardest thing of all to get over and you never really do but the pain eases in time.\n\nIf the disappointment has been caused by someone jerking you around by doing mean or rotten things then that is hard to forget about.

I have family members who have passed from it.  I do not live in fear because there is no sense in living in fear of something that you have no control over.  It is a very scary thing... and it saddens me deeply... i think cancer makes me more angry than anything.

I worry because it's happened to me and it does suck and you have to ALWAYS be careful. And predators are everywhere.:(

In most parts yes. What is sad is that it takes America falling apart like 9/11 to bring out the kindness. I think that people get so caught up in there life that they forget there are people out there that need help. I was a volunteer fire fighter and I help with several charities and one that is special to me is the Veterans. So, not all of us have lost it, but many forget. It will take America falling again to bring it out all over.
