Would you? Could you? Write a nada obit like this?

December 29, 2010

I remembered having read a brutally honest obituary that sounded totally like it

was written for a nada,so I had a look and found it.

I am,personally,tempted to write an obituary in a similar vein for my nada

when she passes,but I really don't know if I could go through with it.I think

I'd rather give it all over to the Universe and leave the " final word " on her to

forces and powers greater than myself.

What do you guys think of this obituary? :

" Dolores Aguilar, born in 1929 in New Mexico, left us on Aug. 7, 2008.

Dolores had no hobbies, made no contribution to society and rarely shared a kind

word or deed in her life. I speak for the majority of her family when I say her

presence will not be missed by many, very few tears will be shed and there will

be no lamenting over her passing.

Her family will remember Dolores and amongst ourselves we will remember her in

our own way, which were mostly sad and troubling times throughout the years. We

may have some fond memories of her and perhaps we will think of those times,

too. But I truly believe at the end of the day all of us will really only miss

what we never had, a good and kind mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. I

hope she is finally at peace with herself. As for the rest of us left behind, I

hope this is the beginning of a time of healing and learning to be a family

again.

There will be no service, no prayers and no closure for the family she spent a

lifetime tearing apart. We cannot come together in the end to see to it that her

grandchildren and great-grandchildren can say their goodbyes. So I say here for

all of us, GOODBYE MOM. "
