Discussion Is it common to not want to be found after death?

[wiinterfrost]

I saw one or two other people mentioning this and so i wondered if it wasn't just me and them.
For me personally, i wouldn't want my body to be found for obvious reasons like not wanting to freak anyone out but also i don't want anyone to find out that i was dead until after i was long gone. Like maybe a year later or something. i have so little contact with people that it might even work lol if only i could transport my body to a place where no one'd find it... alas, disability.
or maybe even several decades or never.
anyways i guess i want to fade to obscurity without much of a fuss and have that moment of peace where my death goes unnoticed and hasn't disturbed the living yet.

feel free to share your thoughts
ugh actually i asked the question all wrong discovering death is different than discovering body but i am so tired that i decide not to care
might redo the poll but it's just for fun so whatever! ^^

Ideally, I'd be outdoors and nature would ensure full decomposition before my bones were discovered, if they ever were. However, thinking realistically, it would be very soon afterwards - long enough for my body to be cold and therefore obviously dead but not too long as I wouldn't want things to be too pungent.

 

[Forveleth]

I genuinely do not care. I'll probably do it in my basement so I would hope somebody finds me before I stink up the place and make a mess but, I'll be dead so

In a perfect world, I'm with @Ash I would love to ctb in nature and just let the Earth have me back without interference from anyone.

In my case I couldn't really care about this as I simply won't exist at that point, it's really not my problem. I find comfort in the thought of being dead as then whatever happens in this hellish world will no longer be my concern, instead I'll be at peace for all eternity. And everyone has to die somewhere, someday and that's the fault of those who so harmfully impose existence in the first place, if it's up to me I never would have chose to die, I would have chose to never exist at all, more than anything I wish I never existed.

I'd rather not be found at all and just forgotten about. In actuality though, I most likely would be found, and in that case I'd want it to be either immediately after I die or long enough after that the decomposition process would be complete. I can't stand the thought of being found in rigor mortis or advanced decay even knowing I wouldn't be conscious of it because I'm that hopelessly vain.

I personally dread the moment that my loved ones will find my body but as traumatizing, shocking and horrifying it will be I think it's better because if they never find your body they say the loved ones will never get closure and will be haunted wondering if they are dead, still alive somewhere, hoping they'll come home one day, thinking, are they suffering, have they met a horrifying demise or did they just want to purposely disappear which will leave the loved ones feeling as if they did something wrong that made them want to leave. It would just be hell for them to never know.

I just want my body found after because with hanging myself as my method I am afraid about what my body will look like if left there for a day or two. It'd be worse I think than just finding me a few hours after the deed is done.

I just want to disappear

I will head off into the wilderness, and try to plan it so there is little chance of ever being found. I like the idea of turning my back completely on human society.

 

[sserafim]

I never want to be found. I wish that I could just disappear forever. I can't stand the thought of people seeing my dead body. I want to be remembered as I was in life, "young and beautiful". I don't want to be tarnished in peoples' memories

I don't really think that relatives and friends of missing people have that much of an easier time of it. They're always going to be wondering/worrying what happened. If it looks suspicious- suspicion may even fall on them! I've never really worked out why people would think this was the softer option for those left behind. I guess if they truly thought no one would ever to think to check up on them, maybe it would work but I imagine someone somewhere will notice. Even if it's a bill that hasn't been paid.

I guess I'm in the minority in the comments (though not in the poll) because I'd prefer my body being found as soon as possible after death.

A big reason is that with my method, my body will likely still be intact so they'll be able to harvest organs from it (if they find me soon enough). I like the idea of "giving" my life to those who actually want it.

Also, I want it to be widely known that I went by suicide, that I ended my life by exercising the highest form of personal autonomy and freedom. Plus I want all the government documents to be certified so that it's "official" that I'm dead. There's something very comforting about imagining my death certificate.

EDIT: These days the only thing that brings a smile to my face is imagining someone saying: she committed suicide. Past-tense. Completed. Done. Fait accompli.

I'm kind of neutral since most of my methods will not leave my body at a good enough condition to make it useful for others, but if it could get some use in some way or another I would like it to be retrieved sooner rather than later so that it could help in some way.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I don't really care as to when I'll be found as I'll be dead after all... of course this is assuming I'm dead and have no chance to be resuscitated

Immediately so my body doesn't decay and my parents can have closure as quickly as possible
