Jill 0 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Only been to 3, 2 were pretty much expected the other was really horrible. Exactly this. 2 were grandparents who'd been ill for a while. The other was a lad from school killed on holiday, that was awful and I wasn't even a close friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 16991 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Went to a creamtion in January for an old mate I played football with who was only 38 when he shuffled off. Mind, he was doing 2 bottles of vodka a day at the end and had multi organ failure They're a fact of life, but never easy. They do quite often lead to spectacular piss ups though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 336 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 The first funeral I went to was when I was 12 and it was my best friend. Since then I've been to a lot, but 5 for friends of mine that were around the same age as me when they died, which always makes you re-evaluate life.

Kitman 2204 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I went to the funeral of good mates' son last year, 16 years old killed in a totally avoidable car accident. I don't mind admitting I cried my way through the whole ceremony, and it affected me for a long time afterwards. I'm not anxious to repeat the experience.

Holy fuck thats rough I've been to 3, Grandas 6 and a half years ago which i was too young to realise which was happening. and my da's mother and father in the past year. Granda died on the 22nd December unexpected which was hard because we only lost our grandmother on the 22nd April that year That's life i suppose.

Rob W 0 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I think it's quite important that kids (say over 8) are taken to funerals - its not pleasant but I think it helps face life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're only in your 30's [or that is what you look] Yeah, I'm 36. My best friend was killed in a road accident when I was 12. She got off the school bus and crossed the road behind it without looking and was hit by a car coming the other way. She hit her head on a lamppost and was in a coma for a week and her life-support was switched off after brain stem tests showed there was nothing they could do. When I was 15 another friend at school was killed in a head-on collision when he was a passenger in a car. In my 20's a friend of mine died in his sleep and was found the next morning by his flatmate. They couldn't find any reason for it and it was put down to SADS (Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.) 6 years ago a friend from Manchester attempted suicide by injecting himself with an overdose of insulin. It didn't quite work but put him in a coma and he wasn't found for 3 days by which time it was too late to do anything and he died in intensive care of multi-organ failure. Finally, the cousin of my other half contracted a virus (they thought it was meningitis at first but tests ruled it out) He was in intensive care for 2 months and eventually died after he developed pneumonia - he was 26. That was about 2 years ago now and they never really found out what exactly the virus was - he initailly had flu-symptoms but quickly deteriorated. Miserable stuff eh? It just makes me more determined to enjoy every day, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inglez 0 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Havent been to one in my 18 years of living, would definetly like to avoid them, but its going to be inevitable sooner or later, not unless I kick the bucket first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
