Re: identifying a body

Pf;
I'm sorry you had to go through this. I've never had to id a body, so I don't know what the experience "should" be like-but I want you to know someone is out here. Writing your story may be theraputic--thoughts and feelings need to get out, not be bottled up inside. Yopu're not going mad-it just feels that way. And after what you've witnessed, it's totally understandable. Grief can eat you alive. Please use this board to post your feelings. Maybe someone else out there has been in your position and can be of help to you...anyone? I can listen really well...so feel free to vent to me if you need to . I'm on the boards daily. Peace be with you, and know you're not alone.

Re: identifying a body

I have never ID anyone, But I found my Brother in bed . He choked in his vomit while sleeping, We were camping and drinking. 2 years later my father died . I was there for his last breath, another year later it all stopped. My mother had a massive heart attack and died, But I was not there when that happened. I wonder why it was me everytime ? It was hard but I dealt with it.I dont cut myself. But at times it hurts so bad, all I could do is cry. It still hurts, And I have that picture of my brother in my mind everyday. It still hurts and always will in some way I guess, You need to seek help my friend if your hurting yourself. Good luck
