Discussion Are you writing your own obituary?

[nomoredolor]

When I signed a contract with the funeral home they asked if I wanted the projected price of obituary included. It makes me wonder how many people write their own obituary? I have seen it happen with other people IRL but it's rare. Is anyone on here writing their own obituary? On the one hand I want to use it to put information out there. On the other hand I think it's nice when a loved one writes for the deceased too. I'm just thinking I don't want a generic funeral home obit and it could be fun to write my own.

If you did write your own obituary I would love to read it. Omitting personally identifying information of course,

All my love to all of you,
Anna

Not sure the point. If I truly had someone in my corner in real life I don't think i could commit suicide. Or at least wouldn't want to. I have *absolutely* nobody. Why would I write an obituary where more people would celebrate my demise then mourn my death. Or even more just not care. Used to be tinder for fire or kitty litter. Why the hell would i want that. I would rather die as I am now just anonymously.

I'm sorry you don't have anyone in your corner. I wish that for you. Perhaps I am a fool to Ctb with those in mine.ill feel guilty until I die but I can't stay even with their love and support. Thanks for Answering

I can't begin to really say what your journey is like. It isnt one i have trod. All I can say is I wish that you find peace. That their love and support is enough to drag you through your worst days. And someone to celebrate the good ones.

As for me I'm in my own personal hell. Misery is not a word that's appropriate. I really dont remember the last time I felt happy. Even more so the last time I felt loved, cared about, or had even a semblance of camaraderie.

Maybe the good place had it right and I really am in my own personal hell. Maybe that tram I narrowly missed years back actually hit me. I don't know but my brain is genuinely trying it's best to squeeze what little dopamine exists in my out of it. That sponge is getting very dry though...
