Have you ever seen a dead person in real life?
I have seen mummies and human embryos in a museum so technically yes, but not like a corpse or anything.

shareMany times at many wakes
It always gives me the shivers
We buried cousin Walter a few months ago...Very terrible thing to see
We don't have those in my country luckily, it sounds like a horror film.
shareIt is pretty unsettling!
You go up to the big box and kneel in front of your dead relative or friend's corpse and say a quick 'Our Father'...the funeral home people do a good job of prettying them up but you just kneel there thinking 'How did it come to this?!?'
Yeah, no makeup is gonna cover that fact, it's good to respect the dead of course but i'm sure it could traumatize people.
shareTruer words were never spoken. ..The toughest part is trying to think of what to say to the immediate family
There really are no words!
I wouldn't know either, but the most important thing is to show up and be supportive really, words can't really fix grief.
shareI was at a close friend's funeral (died young of aneurysm) and on the way out vocally mistook his mother for his grandmother. I was mortified but later felt better as I knew my friend would have absolutely loved it.
shareAs a big dummy that frequently mortifies himself I feel your pain
Sorry about your pal, we've buried a few young lads around here and it's nothing but grief!
I smiled at your last line, he must have been a champ👍
You've never seen a dead body at a funeral?
Sadly I've seen one of my best friends bodies in a casket after he OD'D, and another best friends body after he tool his own life.
I haven't, but i'm sorry for your loss, that is some crap you went through.
shareHorrible to hear about your buddy...I had a good pal that shot himself in the face cleaning his .380 Browning semi-auto...no magazine but he forgot to clear the chamber
He was about 20, a tragic accident
That's awful! My friend took his life by, from what I've been told, shooting his wrist and bleeding to death. I had absolutely no clue he was depressed.
It was a hard one to swallow.
My friend who OD'D was awful as well but not too surprising. He had been spiraling downward.
I support the 2nd Amendment, but stories like your friends are why I'll never bear arms.
Jeez...awful!
Quite sorry to hear that
I've hunted and shot guns with daddyo for ages...He'd smack me right in the grill if I ever did something stupid with a firearm but I respect your opinion
Found a dead guy in a car, crashed into the side of an ice rink when I was 16.
shareScary.
shareI didn't stick around long enough, but the cop got there before the paramedics and thought he had a heart attack, causing him to run off the road and into a park down the road from me. The guy never tried to brake and plowed right through the side of the rink. The car was propped up/stuck, and the tires were still spinning. I'm guessing he was there for a while before I drove by.
I knew he was dead immediately though. It was pretty messed up.
So wait he stuck on the gas since the tires were moving?
