If you knew someone close to you would die tomorrow, how would you feel?

[Dean Winchester]

Honestly, it depends. If it were one of my parents, I actually don't know how would I react. Perhaps I would end up accepting my loss, and try to move on believing that someday the same "death" who torn us apart would reunite us once again. If it were someone else, like a friend or a fiancee, I would enter a state of "nothingness", my mind would only be functional for school/work related situations, but not for other topics such as parties, birthdays, holidays, etc. If it were someone really, really, special to me, I would be like "zero mode", joy torn away from my soul, at least for a few months. Maybe I would just accept that death is inevitable, and that no matter how hard we try, there's no way to escape it, it has always been there and it will always be there preying on us, watching for the right moment to take us away.

Ok, damn I don't know how would I feel. I guess we can't never truly know until it happens. My grandmother told me that she would eventually die sooner or later, I don't know why she brought up the subject. I told her that wouldn't be shattered by the loss, because I knew that death is a natural part of life, but that I would feel somehow sad of not being able to see her again.

If it were my parents...I don't know really. I might care, I might not. If it was my half-sister or nephews, I'd likely be pretty sad about it. If it was a friend, I'd probably become depressed.

I'd be devasted, I know I would. I remember when my gran died I was a mess. I dealt with it by not talking about it because talking about it upset me. I still don't now and it was a few years ago

I don't really deal with it well tbh, I just bottle it up

A friend died that I hadnt seen for a few years and it still hit me bad, I went to her funeral and it was awful

But, if it was my dad, I really don't know how I would feel, I just am not close to him at all. Iv seen him 4 or so times in 8 years and when I first stopped speaking to him, we had a huge row
Ido get the niggling feeling that I might be affected more than I expect, like what if I feel guilt or regret? It's a dodgy subject
And if I DID get upset, I wouldn't want to show it infront ofg my mum because sh hates him and she might think I was being stupid

Either way I look at it, I would just bottle my feelings and pretend I didn't care even if I did

 

[Dean Winchester]

Yes, that could work. In my case, I just accept that death can't be defeated, we are bound to it, we can't escape it, and perhaps maybe we just cease to exist. No heaven, no hell, simple non-existence. The sole idea of dying terrifies me, I've seen it, I know it's real, I know I could just die one die for no apparent reason, anywhere, anytime.
My great grandmother died, and to tell you the truth I just took it normally, as if it were meant to happen anyway. Then my grandmother got a call about her niece dying, and I remember telling her these exact words:

"Death comes for us all..."

She looked at me confused by my comments, telling me I was a bit cruel. I knew what I was saying, and I know now. That's the main reason why I try to control my emotions, to keep it cool when the time comes. I know that if I am unprepared when either the death of my parents or of anyone close to me happens, the situation would shatter my soul into countless shards of agony.

I've never had someone close to me die. My grandparents died several weeks after my birth, so I never really got to know them.

That said, if I found out my dad, mom or brother were going to die tomorrow, I'd feel...well...

I don't know, actually. Utter devastation or something. It'd be a long time before I acted like myself again.

It's not something I want tothink about really, the people that are closest to me are my mum, brother best friend and obviously my daughter. It just doesnt bare thinking about, it makes me come over ll funny at the very thought of it

I worry about my brother on a daily basis, he's at that age where him and all his mates have all passed their driving tests and I swear it scares the shit oout of me

It doesnt help that i used to wortk in insurance investigations and like 80% of the work was car crashes.....

It depends for me too. If it was my dad, my life would be torn apart because I rely on him for everything, and I'd have nowhere to go except for maybe one of my friend's homes until college rolls around. If it was my mom, I wouldn't give much of a damn seeing as how I haven't seen here in about eight years.

If it was one of my other family members, I might only care for a week or so. I'm not close to my family at all, and the only relatives I was close to when I was little have changed a lot, so I really don't know who they are. If one of my close friends died, I would probably be VERY stoic and depressed for a long time. I probably wouldn't decline into clinical depression, but I know that I wouldn't be motivated to do much.

I handle situations like that in an unorthodox manner, but that's how much I can predict right now.
