YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE...MAYBE TWICE!
The next stage of grief is anger. As you watch over their body you’ll get angry, start trying to assign blame. You’ll likely be angry with the dead person for not being more careful and with yourself for not being able to protect them. This stage of grief is the most useful and will help you do what needs to be done. Use that anger. Channel it into the task at hand. Blame the dead person if you have to. Whatever it will take to force yourself to do what you must do. You can deal with the guilt later. Once your grieving is finished you will realize what you did was the right thing. But you have to use the anger to strike, because the next stage of grief will make things harder than you could imagine, and letting yourself fall into it before you deal with the situation could potentially cause a lot of trouble.
I refer to, of course, the stage of bargaining. This is when you start trying to convince yourself that what’s happened isn’t real. You will fall into a dark spiral of “What if”s and “If only”s. People often try to convince themselves it’s only a dream, and if they do something different maybe they will wake up. You start asking yourself dangerous questions, “What if they aren’t going to change?”, “What if they remember me?”. These kinds of thoughts will lead you to do stupid things, like trying to communicate with the person once they reanimate. Or worse, keeping them around in the hopes that they will regain some sense of their old selves.
The truth is what you have to remember. They are dead. What’s coming back is not them, and it never will be again. Try to think about if it was you. Would you want them to let you turn? Probably not. So you have to do what you have to do, and you have to do it right away. Once they are gone, you have to make sure they stay that way. It’s your biggest responsibility to your loved ones in the zombie apocalypse, aside from trying to keep them alive. So remember, don’t let denial overwhelm you, use your anger, and whatever you do, do not let yourself succumb to bargaining. Once their dead, strike fast. It’s the humane thing to do.

i agree best to put one right int he head as soon as they die, or get infected. nothing good comes from waiting for them to turn.
Yeah it'll be tough when it comes to a loved one. But waiting could just cause more problems. BUt as most of us know, if one of our own, kids/wife/girlfriend/fiance/boyfriend/husband ends up being scratched or bitten, we would try and spend every last minute with them till the end of their natural life. Once the living life has left them, we would most likely hesitate.
For those of us there would be the hard conflict with the short time between death and re-animation in where the decision of putting a blade or bullet in the head would be one of the hardest things to make. Even though that person is gone, it would still be hard.
Most of you know that I have two boys.
Lets just say the Z-poc broke out and my youngest, Lj was scratched or bitten. (I could come off with the badass attitude of I would do the deed in an instance, but it would be a lie), it would be very hard for me to put him down before the re-animation. Everyone has their own types of emotional conflict to deal with when it comes to a loved one. But with Lj being my first born and my only child, it would make one of the world's hardest things I would have to face. I would like to believe I would wait till the end of his living life and that moment between death and re-animation. But I believe I would most likely become The Governor with his daughter...
As for my oldest, who is my step-boy, I would be the same way..

Greetings Everyone, Well it's been awhile. As things go, life carries us all in different directions from time to time but you always find your way home sooner or later. Well, life ain't all fun and games, but right now, things are going good. I have restarted my writing on my book again, and as I learn more about about some of the ROle-playing games I have gotten into, I am seriously thinking about rying to create an actual Zombie Survival Role-playing game. But have not set any time…
