Wondering what you all think about this ????

[Guest guest]

This was posted in a local obituary, and I took out the name of the

woman and all identifying information, but this was the very first

line of her obit. I told my husband that if I EVER get approved and

something goes wrong I will come back to haunt him if he put something

like that in my obit...

Here it is :

Ms. Jane Doe 47, an employee of " Her Company " over the past 18 years,

died Sunday, May 14, 2006, in " Her State " , of complications from a

gastric bypass surgery performed more than two years ago.

Could it be that her family didn't approve of her having the surgery

and so they are on some kind of mission to get them to be harder to

get? I don't know how much harder it could be as I have jumped through

so many flaming hoops already, and when I had everything sent to my

insurance company, they want more, after they told me what they wanted

to start with, and I got it all.

Just curious as to what you all thought about that obit?

Hmmm...well, I dunno, about half the obits I see say why the person died,

cancer, accident, and I've seen " surgery complications " before. Maybe it was

just that they didn't want to confuse anyone who didn't know her well and make

them she'd just had it done or something. But still, it IS a rather specific

explanation, and it smacks of resentment by her family members to me. My

intuition is that they weren't so much trying to make the surgery harder to get,

but to express their anger and resentment at what happened to their loved one.

Thats crazy! I would have to agree that they didn't want her to do

the surgery. I've never seen that in an obit. Cancer or car accident

yes.
