At a methadone clinic in LA, I met a 68yo guy. He was an ex-musician. 6'3" and weighed about 100 pounds. His son was 22yo, about the same height and weight. They both looked like they were 80yo. Wrinkled, sagging skin, and legs as skinny as my wrists. The father had been on and off methadone and heroin for 20 years and the son, for 8 years.

I had a friend in college, Mike, who was quite the geek. He was ungainly and he dressed funny. We would occationally offer some fashion advice, but he was resistant. He'd usually reject our invitations to go out and do stuff. I often worked on assignments with him. Some people were cruel to him. They would call him BoogerEater and make fun of him. After we graduated he fell in love with a girl who did not return his affections, so he blew his brains out.

I took my mom off life support. She was brain dead because of a doctor's mistake and I had to pick the day for her to die on. It was the hardest decision I ever had to make...I still cry about it almost five years later.

Holding my son as he slipped away from this world. My (now ex) wife and I had made the decision to withhold treatment for him due to his prematurity, and sat with him and our two older children while he slowly (but thankfully painlessly, due to the morphine) lost his little battle for life. No matter how many times I replay the options I don't know if I made the right choice at the right time, even though my head tells me it was the right thing to do. My heart goes out to all the others who have had sad moments in their life, and to those who have still to experience such a time. Time DOES heal, but very slowly and it leaves scars behind.

The hum of the flatline on the EKG attached to my 2 month old daughter. It was SIDS. The worst sound I've ever heard, and I will never be able to forget it.

When I admitted to my bestfriend [who's also a girl] that I love her beyond mere friendship... and see in her eyes, hear in her voice, that she doesn't feel the same. She was probably the first person in the entire planet that I've ever loved more than myself. And all her actions afterward told me that she'd rather be anywhere else than with me. I've never had anyone from my close family die, so the only death story I could share here is the day I died myself.

When I knew in my heart that my dad was losing his battle with cancer.

Death is by far the saddest thing I've seen and experienced. It's like dropping a stone in water, the ripple effect spreads and lasts a long time. Watching someone with a disease waste away is even worse. It's an important part of everyone's life but, to me, it's also the saddest.

As I write this I am so ashamed of myself that I cant take back that horrible day.

God may forgive me but I will live with this and will never forgive myself. This is the first time I have admitted out loud what I had done and Mom I am so sorry I hurt you and said things that made you sad,please find a way to show me you forgive me.

I cry lot at movies; there's so much cruelty and torture done to people. The worst was Gladiator's wife and young son tortured, crucified and burnt alive. If I know beforehand that there's any cruelty to children, I refuse to go. I've seen hundreds of guys in real life killed in battle, and it doesn't affect me, but I break up when kids are involved.
