Is it normal that men call out for their mom as they're dying?

I've heard that men who are dieing, especially a traumatic death like in war, often call out for their mother. Is that the norm, or is that an exception?

When I'm having a bad dream and somebody is trying to kill me I often wake myself up or wake up my wife by calling my wife's name. I don't know why. She's a delicate petite woman and certainly couldn't help me if my attacker is more than I can handle. I don't ever recall calling out for my mother, but maybe I did when I was a little child.

What do you think? Is it normal for a guy to call for his mother as he lays dieing?

    Yea, it's normal. It's also one of the most disturbing things you can witness. To see a grown man desperately cry out for his mother like a terrified child. It's very very spooky.

    Columbine, there was at least 1 young man who cried out for his
    mother

    There is a video of some Russians that were captured by an enemy group in Syria. 5 or 6 Russian men, all in their 20's it seemed. One by one they were beheaded. Some of them were in shock, one tried to run away, and the others cried out for their mom as the Syrians started decapitating them. It's a primal sound, that level of fear and terror.

    It's interesting how mother's are so deeply embedded in our sense of safety.

    I almost died once..a bunch of doctors were trying to save me and i remember calling for my dad to save me....kinda illogical but when the mind is trying to survive it goes into a primal mode.

    Okay. FIRST men AND women call out for their mothers when facing death or dying... not just men. Yes, It's NORMAL... but not everyone does it. Some people may call out for their children, or other family members, or their friends, or their god, OR may not call out at all.

    SECOND, You should be ashamed of yourself demeaning your wife by implying since she is petite that she is not capable of handling a life-threatening situation or defending off an attacker - OR that since you can't do it, then she can't either. IF she doesn't have the ability to, then that is lack of self-confidence, knowledge, and training, not because of her size. WHAT AN ASSHOLE HUSBAND YOU ARE!!!

    Here's a Tip: If you are concerned about you, and especially your wife, not being able to fend off an attacker, then stop wasting your time asking ridiculous questions, and enroll in a self-defense class. I'm sure you're wife would appreciate your support, and she may surprise you since most martial arts were developed by little old men and little old ladies. Heck she may be able to surpass your expectations (and maybe her own too), and be able to give you a well-deserved ass-kicking for viewing her as a "delicate" defenseless woman.

    Again, calling out for momma (for men AND women) is Normal... AND Again, you're an asshole.

      You are psycho.

      Just based on statistics alone he has a valid point in thinking he shouldn't rely on a petite woman in a life and death struggle.

      Do you really think a 100lb woman without a gun is going to be able to stop a 200lb man?

      Also, don't do martial arts. Unless you compete that's ridiculous. I used to compete in MMA but I would never want to rely on it for life and death scenarios.

      Get a gun, learn to use it.

      I'm thankful I'm not married to anybody with an attitude like yours! I'm sure there was no danger of that happening as we never would have gotten past the first date!

      I didn't say my wife was "defenseless". I said she's delicate and petite. I can take care of myself, and she is quite resourceful and can take care of herself. If something was happening to me that I couldn't handle then I don't think she could either because she gets hurt easily; broken bones, pulled muscles, dizziness, vertigo, etc. In spite of these deficiencies I know she would jump right in there and do whatever she could if I needed help, but I wouldn't want her to because when it was over she would be in worse shape than me unless I was dead.

      My comments about my wife were in the context of me DREAMING! Maybe you missed that part. Things don't make sense in our dreams. When I'm awake I don't call for anybody to help me in a dangerous situation. I just deal with it.

      I think the last time I can remember calling for help was when the rooster flew up and landed on my shoulders and was pecking at the back of my head when I was about 5 yrs old. I called for my Dad that time.

      The definition of maturity is "suffering an injustice without seeking revenge", so I'm gonna let you get away with calling me an asshole, but you're out of line! Lighten up!
