I was one of the first to pull up to a wreck where a trike crossed the center line on US129 The Dragon into a land cruiser pulling a boat. Trike hit the tongue of the trailer and tore those people apart and they were stuck underneath. Was awful.

Six years ago in August, walked into the ICU at Baptist Hospital in Oxford, MS, having been called by my brother in law earlier that day saying my dad had told everyone he was tired, ready to be done with his fight, and ready to rest. I made it to his room with about 5 minutes to say my goodbyes as we stood there and watched him peacefully step into eternity after years battling one issue after another. My sister swears he waited for me to get there, and I am grateful he held on long enough for me……

Yes, Taliban.
War sucks. Knowing it's either them or us still sucks. They had family too.

I was with my dad, mom, and brother. It was very peaceful. I wouldn’t trade those experiences for the world.

15 years old. That was 18 years ago and I can still remember it like it happened this morning. A lot of lives ruined that afternoon over 80 frickin dollars.

I’ve coming up on 29 years of working ER, ICU, Rapid Response, and Code Team.
Honestly have no idea how many people I’ve seen die, but it’s a lot, several hundred.
Have seen six die in a 12 hour shift, have coded two simultaneously in a shared room (neither made it).
Have seen people die very peacefully. Have seen people who were real bastards to their families in life die painful deaths, screaming until the end. Some were a bit unnerving, it’d make those who question the existence of Hell rethink it.
Have brought people back who were clinically dead, heard enough interesting (and similar) stories from them to believe in after death experiences.

2 at bedside, father and aunt.
2 onside of the road in automobile crash.
1 drowning from about 100 yards away.
Watching a person when their heart stops isn't pleasant.

I worked in a hazardous place, towboats, ship, barges, cranes, for over 30 years, I saw my share of death and sadness. A crane operator unloading drill pipe without putting out the pontoons, crane tipped over and crushed him. I had to go document the case, taking pictures was terrible.
A mechanics helper was working in the engine room, he was straddling the spinning wheel shaft, he slipped and got tangled up with the shaft. They kept him alive long enough for his wife to come kiss him good-bye.
A guy who wore his life jacket loosely fell between two barges, we found his life jacket the same day, not his body for months.
A friend and I were leaving a party, it was dark and rainy, a young woman was texting while driving an SUV, they didn't see each other, he was interrupted in mid sentence and was knocked 100' down the road, I ran to him while calling 911, he was already gone.
My parents both died of cancer in my teens, I was with both of them, it was not a peaceful way to go. frick cancer.

I was at my Dad's bedside when he died 5 years ago, 6 months after my brother's sudden death. My dad was under hospice care in my mom's home (although they had been divorced for 25 years). It wasn't a peaceful death. He grimaced in pain and then took his last breath reaching for my brother's picture. 5 days ago I was at my mother's side when she took her last breath, very peacefully. She had dementia, moved in with my husband and me in November, broke her arm after a fall March 15. She had surgery March 18 and discharged a few days later. She had been doing great in recovery, but we suspect she had a stroke because she woke up on a Wednesday slurring her speech and couldn't stand up or walk. Home health and PT came that morning and wanted me to call 911 and have her admitted to the hospital. Being in a strange place like a hospital brought on delirium because of her dementia. I called my sister and we both agreed we needed hospice. She started hospice that Thursday and died at 0030 the following Wednesday. Though it was more peaceful than my dad's death, it still broke me more. As her caregiver, we had a great routine going and so now I feel like a part of my identity is gone. We will have her service this Friday and then I can work on healing. I'm 52 and not ashamed to say I still need my mommy. The only comforting thing is to know she is with her son (Samuelclemens) again as since his death she has been in a constant state of grief. I love you Mommy!

Twice. My wife on hospice care fir cancer. Breathing was very rapid (60 breaths/minute), then slowly started dropping over the next 15 minutes until they stopped.
The bad one was a major accident. I was first on-scene and had already located 3 dead in 2 separate cars. When I got to the truck that caused the wreck, the female driver was still alive, but the truck was folded up pretty bad. There was already a fire under the hood and it was spewing every fluid, including gasoline. I pulled on that door as hard as I could for a good 15 seconds, but it wouldn't budge due to the damage. Eventually the fire started to engulf the truck and the smoke got so bad that I had to back out. A few seconds later the truck went up like a Roman candle and the driver started screaming. Come to find out later she had a BAC of 0.33 and was driving on the wrong side of the freeway, so frick her. It ended up taking FD 45 minutes with the tools to get her body out, so there's no way that I was doing it bare handed.
