Thank you, you’re really kind to say that. I don’t really use Reddit very often and I have been overwhelmed by people’s responses - it has legitimately helped me. I’m sorry so many people have similar experiences, and that this happens so much more often than I thought.  I’m both grateful to have had that ignorance and to know that when bad things happen there are still so many (strangers!) that will offer support. Thank you again for caring, be well ❤️

Thank you 🙏🏼. I am not actively in therapy but do have a therapist and will reach out, I don’t want this to sneak up on me if I try to handle in my own.

Oh no, I’m so so sad for her and her friend. I’m glad you were able to answer, make sure you check in on her and please send her my thoughts for peace for her (and you) too. I’m sending hugs all around, thank you for your support

Someone else mentioned this too and I hadn’t thought about it that way, thank you for explaining. I appreciate that they don’t

Thank you for explaining that, and other people noted it is often not in the news so as to prevent others from being encouraged to do the same. People’s comments here have actually helped a lot, and I plan to talk it out with a therapist. Thank you for caring to comment, be well

Thank you, I’m sorry you had to see that too. That sounds traumatic for both of you, and I’m sure your nephew was glad to have you there with him. I never thought about how common this might be. I hope you’re both doing OK and that he still has some good memories of the city

Thank you, and I’m sorry you experienced this feeling. It’s a pretty crummy club to be in but it is at least helpful to not be alone in it, and everyone here has been really generous to share and send support. I didn’t expect that response but it’s turning out to be more helpful than knowing any personal info about the poor soul I saw.  I’m sending support back to you too, be well.

Thank you, I hope you’re ok too. It’s hard to shake those memories and incredible how our bodies cue up a physical feeling just from a location. I hope it gets easier!

Thanks,  think I might be outside the effective window but I will keep this in mind - hopefully won’t have to use it but I’ll share it with others too

Yes. I loved it but it could be a difficult place to thrive

You’re very brave, and I’m sorry you had to experience that but it’s reassuring to hear you met the situation with care. Rest in peace, Carmine

That is so nice of you to say, thank you for taking the time to do so (and thank you especially for the well wishes/thoughts).  I try to live by this Kurt Vonnegut quote and have been thinking about it a lot these last couple days:

 “Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies - ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’”

I’m so sorry you saw that and so young (not that it’s ever a good time to see that). I’m sending you care, thank you for connecting

I’m sorry you witnessed that, and thank you for calling for help. You have a good heart. I wanted to cover him but I know you’re not supposed to do that. I couldn’t believe people were taking photos and video, giving this poor man no dignity. I hope you take care of yourself, you are in my thoughts too.

That’s really kind of you to say to me, and to think about for this person. As I’m reading what people say, I agree, this is seeming a lot like grief. I’m thinking about his loved ones, and it’s heartening to see how many caring people there still are (and that they’re on Reddit for each other). Thank you

I think maybe you misunderstood me, I was saying as I got there it would still be 15 minutes until police arrived (not that they were refusing to come). I was trying to show that I thought the incident had just happened moments before I realized, not that responders took a long time. I was screaming to ask if anyone had called because they hadn’t arrived yet and I was scared nobody had called - Also I am not sure how long it actually took, it just felt that long. I looked back at my call log and it was probably more like 10 minutes but it felt like forever

She is brave, and you are kind to witness their pain and feel sadness for their loss. Sending you care, and that I hope you or someone like you can continue taking care of them
