That Futurama episode with the dog really fucked me up fr

I don’t believe I’ve seen it

Watch only that episode, I dare you not to get emotional

Idk man I’ve seen some pretty sad things but sure aha. I’ll watch it

If you've ever had a pet you loved more than life, you should feel something.

Oh so it’ll hit reallll close to home damn

I know I posted the question but ima still answer it, saddest thing I ever saw hands down was a short while after my grandad died I was sat in the living room and I saw my mum trying to call him over and over and eventually collapsing to the ground in grief after I told her (in the nicest way I could) that he’s not coming back and that he’s not gonna answer the phone. I always loved him to death. He was the dad I never had, I miss ya grandad

A car crash where a childhood friend's dad was propelled out the windshield to his death. I pulled off the side of the road and ran down to him but it was too late. He was gone. He was drunk and had run off the road at high speeds.

Damn bro. That hits close to home for me. I hope you and your friend and anyone involved are doing better now

Definitely losing my personal dog. It was the worst pain I have ever experienced and I am assuming it is going to be at least 10 times worse for a human family member. Not looking forward to that gotta be honest.

That also hits home for me massively. The way my dog died was unfair, ima not say much other than my father was extremely abusive. I hope you’re doing better now and please please please cherish your family as much as you can. My biggest regret in life was not seeing my grandad shortly before his death. I have a story about that but holy shit it’s my biggest regret ever, so please for mine and your sake please cherish your family as much as possible.

Seeing my father lying dead on a hospital bed after his two years of suffering from a brain tumor. I weirdly didn’t cry, I almost couldn’t because I didn’t think him going was even possible. And I haven’t cried about that to this day a year and a half later.

I understand, I often dont cry at things I should cry at purely because personally I don’t really know how to process a lot of things

Watching my mom die in hospice care, from stomach cancer and dementia

Dementia is one hell of a thing and so is cancer. I hope things are getting easier as time goes by

Thank you very much, I have my days but things get hmmm, i guess easier is the right word. Thank you again

And thank you for sharing your story. It actually hits fairly close to home for me so it was nice to see that things do slowly get easier

It takes time for sure, I am sorry you had or have to deal with something similar, I hope you have some good friends family or partner for support. Don’t be afraid to ask to talk to someone if you need to as well.

And I hope the same for you

I'm a death investigator for a medical examiner's office. It was Halloween and I got a call about a 7-8yr old that died. He and his family had gone to the neighborhood trunk and treat. There was a hayride where someone was pulling a flat bed trailer. They had put hay bales on it but there were no side rails or anything. The parents let him get in the ride alone with other kids and a few parents. Some how he fell off and one of the trailer wheels ran right over his head. He was life flighted to the nearby hospital but there was nothing they could do. His skull had cracked open. He was an only child. Both sets of grandparents and the parents were in the family waiting room, completely wrecked. The family asked to see him before I took him away and I knew I had to give them that. The crack was on the back of his head. I cleaned up his whole face and hands, put clean towels around his head to hide any blood still trying to come out and covered up to his neck with a clean blanket. He had a few abrasions to his face but when I was done, he looked peaceful like he was sleeping. I had to watch and hold back tears as everyone except dad came back to kiss him goodbye. His dad could not stop crying and said how he didn't want to see him like that. I cried all the way back to the office and then again when I got home from work. I can still see his little iron man costume in my mind.

Tom Hollands poor acting skills

probably the time I had to euthanize my cat, who had been with me from ages 9-19. She passed in my arms, and my parents who took us to the vet clinic said that they could hear me and my boyfriend bawling from the reception desk (we were on the second floor with a closed door). I don’t think I’ll ever get over it, and I miss her so much.

I can’t imagine that would ever be easy and so I worry about when I have to do that for my two dogs. I hope you’re slowly getting better over time though

My life! Growing up my brother and I were abused in every which way. We were even forced to dress like twins from ages 1-17. My dad would cook for my teachers and send me with a dish for them as he was a chef so my teacher never thought bad of them. My family is full of doctors my parents would always talk about them to our pediatrician so they thought my parents were good people. Mind you we were teens dressed like twins with a year + age difference doctors never questioned this behavior. We were locked at home and told we’d never be able to leave til my mom dies. My dad died when I was 17 I joined the army to escape struggled became suicidal got discharged, moved to another state failed at life hard. Meanwhile my brother fully stockholmed stayed at home took over my dad’s responsibilities of taking care of my mom. He paid her rent, bill, phone bill and gave her money for vacation if he didn’t she’d hit him. He wasn’t allowed outside alone until he was 22 only reason she let him go out from then was because he was just drinking and collapsing at home. My family full of doctors never checked up on him after our father died they just check on my mom . At age 27 I had to move back home to take care of my brother who was a junkie far gone to the point reality didn’t make sense to him. Everyone in my family blamed my dads death for his decline not the sexual/ psychological abuse. My brother died at the age of 29. my mom refused to let anyone attend the funeral to save as much money as possible for herself. She took the money and traveled to Greece while I paid the bills. I ended getting stuck taking care of her. Yet everyone treats be like crap. This is currently my situation. I need a new family lol

Honestly I’m not gonna lie at this point you should just cut them off

If I do they’ll harass me my mom her best friend who cares about her because they came to this country with fake birth certificates but no proof exists that it’s fake because they came from Bangladesh the country didn’t issue birth certificates until 2001. I’ve lost jobs out of state from them looking for me had to lie in relationships because they found me on social media and set messages about my crazy days while I was abused ,they even went as far as convincing people I got dishonorable when in reality I was discharged for my mental health so people stay away from me. You can google Bangladeshi fake birth certificates and see the Canadian report in 2010 stating the fraudulent documents are easily obtained. I’ve reported them but theirs no proof.

Damn. I hope that you can find your way out of that situation

I hope so. Maybe someone on here can help lol

Once I went to the hospital for a check-up with my father (it should be noted that I was 8 years old) at the entrance I saw a man in the distance as if waiting for someone, then a girl arrived and apologized for being late, the two of them started arguing for 20 minutes, the boy finally grabbed his car keys and left, the girl sat on a bench and cried, I couldn't see anymore because at that moment the line had moved and I was able to enter

In all my life I only had 2 friends that I liked, the first friend I had left that school, I didn't get depressed because at least I had a computer, then I met Iris, I was with her for 2 years, that time they changed my school to another, I begged my parents not to do it, but in the end they changed me, separating me from my friend really fucked me off, because she had been good to me
