Why do people die so young?

Elijah's way · 25 Sep 2010, 10:36

I just found out that one of my friends died of a brain aneurysm last Sunday. He was only 29 that's just way to young. I really wish someone had told me about it so I could have paid my respects to his family. His mother lost her father, husband, and now him. and his brother lost his grandfather, dad, and now his brother. all within 2 years.

So I'm paying my respects now I'll miss you buddy

I'll see you again one day.

My friend "and so many others" RIP Jesse A. Davis

Sorry if this is against any rules on this site but I needed to let go somewhere.

Sorry to hear about your loss. That is quite unbelievable so many in the family gone in such a short time.

There's maybe not a specific reason for this. It could be genes I guess?

Brain conditions are extremely rare at such a young age.

Things like these certainly make me believe things do NOT happen for a reason whatsoever, I can't really understand why so many people live by that rule. Most of us on the board here will be in the top 1-3% of most affluent people in the world. There's no reason for that either in my opinion.

Sorry to hear about this, its sad.

I am going to sound really really heartless when I say this, but when your time is up, its up, regardless of age.
It heartbreaking mind, when someone so young dies. Its awful to say this, but my cousain died 5 years ago, she was the most beutiful person I had ever seen, I know that sounds sick, but she was. She was bright and always fileld a room with joy when she entered a room. She was aslo one of my freinds, we always did things together, she was very close to my elder sister, wich in effect, made us close, and I cane safely say, we were like brother and sister. The awful part of it was, when she died, I actually wished it was my great aunt who was 88 who died and not My cousain who was 27 then. I felt as though she had her life, where as my cousain had not.

Sad really

I know that's a way back, WarieL, but I'm so very sorry for your loss and he so young, too.

My dad died at age 48 back in 1973. I was 21 years old at the time, married and out of the house. He left behind, though, my sibs aged 11 through 19, the 19 yo being my brother who is deaf and autistic. He was so much the world to them. He was a great dad and it was a great loss. Imo, the family went a bit dysfunctional after that.

My mom died 7 years later at age 53. I always kind of laugh thinking that at age 59, I'm sort of living on overtly borrowed time or at the least, beating odds... lol ... What are you going to do, right ?

One of my nephews died last year and he was only 17. That was the longest and most miserable f*cking flight I've ever had to take back to the UK.

Rage Against · 26 Sep 2010, 02:40

I'm so sorry for your loss.

My cousin passed away from cancer when she was only 32. It's sad and shocking when someone so young passes away unexpectedly. My thoughts go out to you and your friend's family.

I'm sorry to both you and Pud. So young, both and 17 years old... so very tragic.

Just seems so unfair, 17 hasn't even had the chance to experience life.

A friend of mine died at 40, fit as a bloody fiddle, died of a heart attack. He was also my boss and wasn't until the funeral and speaking to his wife and sister that I found out what I was to him. I think of him often and appreciate what he meant to me, RIP Paul.

SOUTH PHILADELPHIA - September 25, 2010 (WPVI) -- A 2-year-old boy is dead and his 20-year-old mother is seriously hurt after being struck by a hit and run driver in South Philadelphia.

It happened just before 8:30 p.m. at 6th Street and Washington Avenue.

Police say the toddler and his mother were crossing the intersection when both were hit by the vehicle.

The boy was taken to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where he later died.

The mother is in critical, but stable condition at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

The striking vehicle is described as a newer model silver Mercedes with tinted window and chrome wheels.

The vehicle was last seen going southbound on 6th Street from Washington Avenue.

****************

And those damn tinted windows. I don't know if you guys have them where you live, but we have them here and I'm telling you, imo, they're a danger ! There's so many times you can't even see inside to see who's driving the car ! I thought I had read some time back they were outlawed, but I see more and more of them every day, so perhaps it was only a proposal.

I can bet all I own the coppers here hate them. Imagine a car stop and walking over to you don't know who. I don't know why those windows are necessary. I hate them.

He had Muscular Dystrophy and would have been lucky to live out his teens anyway, but he was the passenger in a taxi that was involved in a crash and he got flung forward which broke his leg. This inturn created an embolism which eventually gave him a massive heart attack. The really sad thing is that he has a brother who also has Muscular Dystrophy and he's nearly 17 now.

Here in the UK, the side windows level with the driver must allow 70% of the available light through, and the windscreen must be clear. The police will stop you, measure the depth of tint, and make you remove the film there and then from the window if it's over the legal limit.

Hey, 'Babe. How are you ? And that's interesting. It's a removable film there. I wonder if that's the same in the States ? I don't know anything about it. I thought it was a custom-made deal. When I have time, I'll have to check out with someone how that works and check out whether there's a law here or if that was just a proposal. I'm so sure I heard a few years back a discussion about dark windows and their legality.

Take care and thanks for the info ! ...

Oh, Pud, that's just a triple horror. I am so very sorry ...

Cheers. I'm lucky and all my kids are healthy and they will probably remain that way so long as they keep their rooms tidy, but my brother has had it really rough.

This is why I don't and won't believe in God, as what God could be so cruel to allow innocents to die young and the guilty to walk and breathe air.

Elijah's way · 27 Sep 2010, 06:12

Thanks everyone for you're support! It looks like all of us has had some very terrible lose in our lives. I hate that anyone has to go through that kind of pain but it's part of life unfortunately.
