Thoughts on After Death

What I write here does not ignore religious beliefs on the subject of the hereafter. We find plenty of information on this subject on TV and radio. I want to mention some thoughts on death's exterior end.

Many of the ideas that follow came from my own absorption with this subject, and The Whole Death Catalogue. I suppose Freud and others' ideas will find a way out that I do not recognize as not my own.

Thanatophobia (Greek) defined means an abnormal fear of death. What becomes "abnormal" in consideration of death beats me. I go from a sense of fear and trembling to a "so be it" attitude. I suppose that my attitude has much to do with where I'm at with the idea of death. It's hard for me, for most of us probably, to gently say, "I'm OK with it."

The idea of approaching death does give me some anxiety for certain. If pain comes with death I don't want it for certain. If painless I might give it some consideration. I'd rather not die instantly without a hint of death's entrance into my life -- unannounced.

What comes after death appeals to me as an interesting topic because it seems to have grave limits. (No don't excuse the pun.)

From the Whole Death Catalogue (Kindle edition -- so I don't know what page) I read that Epicurus said, "Death is nothing, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not." I like this idea the most of what I read on my Kindle. This idea made since to me when I talked about death with my little friends. Of course we kept the gate open for a heavenly existence, but we did want to explore other avenues of thought. The Epicurian logic appeals to me, but that's just me. People in Laguna Beach will no doubt reflect a variety of death ideas.

Suicidal logic becomes a twisted logic and may take something from Zen. It goes something like this: Life's short existence amounts to meaninglessness. This approach does strike one as depressing and depressing. After all, in another ten billion years no one will remember our heroic efforts. Nonetheless, Zen tells us "Live each day as though it were our last." I do like this idea too, as it turns out. It goes with the idea of savoring the moment.

Suicide's crazy logic finds a way into our heads sooner or later, and for some of us it remains too long. "There's no hurry" I tell myself, no matter how bad things seem to go, death comes soon enough. In fact, many of us will go with some idea about when we will go. See Death's Clock for some information on this idea. For me, it seems more probable that I'll be struck dead while traveling because of the text writing going on.

Death Cleanup

Like blood cleanups, death cleanups may be simple or complex. There's a lot going on, a lot to consider. Some cleaning problems disappear shortly after cleanup begins. Other death cleaning problems, like death's odors, may take several days. Even then, some personal property may remain permiated by the death odor's fragrance. Eventually, given time, even death's odor's disappear.

Suicide Cleanup

In the USA, male suicides are seldom simple cleanups as death cleanup goes. Because of the tendency to use high caliber weapons, male suicides become complex cleanups. It happens that about 73% of US suicide victims are white males while about 17% are white females. The number of males using firearms to commit suicide exceeds 60%.

Decomposition Cleanup

Decomposition of the human begins shortly after the heart stops beating. Enzymes and bacteria begin following a path laid out by nature long ago. Bacteria nurtured on the body's dying flesh now have an unlimited supply of food for over a week in many cases. The damage caused by decomposition will involve the deceased's diet, drugs, alcohol, room temperature, and Laguna Beach termperatures.

Materials contaminated by decomposition require special handling. Decomposition's emotional and psychological issues confront those exposed to one of these scenes. Some people suffer a form of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in their own way. Others go about their business as if nothing has happened out of the ordinary, while emotional conflicts take place without appearance on the outside.

Decomposition sometimes follows suicide acts because the suicide act occurs in an isolated home. In Orange County suicide cleanup may require decomposition procedures.

Decontamination The term decontamination implies a polluting source not typically present. Before decontamination begins, the source materials must be removed. Decontamination follows by cleaning and altering, if not destroying, contaminated materials. Simple hand-washing is a form of decontamination.

Without removing the offending material, decontamination cannot take place. Sometimes altering the soiled environment to halt further contamination makes the best sense before cleaning after death. It's a matter of judgment and experience.

The best advice for beginning decontamination of a death scene begins with the lights. Leave the lights on and this will help slow bacteria growth. Air conditioning also helps slow bacteria growth. There are always trade-offs, though. Eventually the cost of air conditioning outweighs the damage caused because eventually the effluents begin to dry out.

Cronyism in Death Cleanup - Crime Scene Cleanup

Few government employees take part in cronyism, but their numbers are growing. It takes only one to cheat thousands of tax payers, insurance companies, and crime scene cleanup companies.

This is crime scene cleanup cronyism: A crime scene cleanup company gets death cleanup jobs from a government employee. Such an employee may be a clerk, police offier, coroner, or other government employee. In return, the employee gets money from the crime scene cleanup company. This is a crime and bad for tax payers, insurance companies, and honest crime scene cleanup companies.

Orange County crime scene cleanup cronyism is the absolute lowest form of cronyism because it profits from death, survivors' pain, and tax payers' money.

If you have been given telephone numbers by a government employee, beware. I recommend that you at least use the telephone book or Internet to find more crime scene cleanup companies. There are many that will give you a fair and reasonable price.

You are welcome to call my toll-free telephone number if you have any questions about death cleanup.
