Anybody on here ever felt like doing a FALLING DOWN?

That's what my dad thought when he retired at 60. He died later that year.

That must have been brutal, as I've just experienced my first death where it hits home. My mother collapsed and died Wednesday night there. Blood clot to the lungs. The longest two days I've ever experienced in life.

Ambulance arrived what appeared 5 minutes after she died. They arrived quite swiftly within 15 minutes but it was all so sudden. They must have spent what appeared like 15 - 20 minutes trying to revive her. There were blips but it wouldn't hold and all the adrenaline was used up from their kits. Once I saw the lady pull out the stethoscope, I knew it was game over and the way she looked at me before telling me. "Sorry."

It hurts even just typing this and with the undertaker here this morning dealing with the forms.


I can only imagine how these ambulance crew must feel everytime they've to try to deal with someone's death that they cannot bring back to life. That must be heavy, as I could see it in her face.

I'm so sorry for your loss :(
 
Does the OP still have these thoughts? .

Sometimes and who hasn't had similar thoughts at some point or other?

Sometimes you've got to take things into your own hands, resort to drastic measures or use force to make unreasonable authority figures see sense and listen to reason (direct action's the only thing they understand but don't like it and complain).
 
How do I cope with stress and after a shift at work that leaves me wanting to kill somebody?
DOOM!!! But at one point I wanted to do a DOOM style glory kill on the boss who was stressing me out.
It wasn't the game, it was the situation during the shift, that made me want to do it.
It isn't just retail shopfloor workers that almost fly into a rage, it happens in other jobs. lie the policeman who finally catches the local young hooligan but the judge lets the said toerag off with a fine, ASBO and community serviceand warns the toerag's victims not to take matters into their own hands.

Aww man, so sorry for your loss.

I've been through something similar before and nothing can prepare you for it. I wish you and yours all the best.

You need to go and talk to your GP and repeat what you're saying here and get help. It is not normal.

I'm in two minds to report this thread to the police tbh.
 
I’ve been through times where I’d feel that sort of rage every day. Thankfully not so much these days.

Great film btw.

Thanks. It's a weird feeling now how you never really know what you've lost until you've lost it. Like a piece of your heart has been damaged and cannot be repaired from it but only with time. All the little things in life now that has such a strong relation to the memories and feelings. I've never realised until now when people talk of how strong emotions and grief can be.

Then coming across the story of Minnie Driver's mother who died last March.

She said: "Grief is just another expression of love. I've really come to understand that, having lost my mother during the pandemic."



"I can relate, had the same experience with the death of my own beloved mother. The loss can derail your life if you let it"

"Losing a beloved mother does indeed derail your life. I never thought I'd be able to live in a world without my best friend and the best mum in the world - but somehow you carry on because what else can you do?"

"My mum died on the Queen's Golden Jubilee & 20 years later the tree I'll plant in June will be for her, not the Platinum celebration. She didn't see any of her grandchildren become adults, go to university, marry & have their own babies, however, I accepted her death many years ago & remember all the good times, her wisdom & the telling offs with love & happiness."
