Woman’s self-penned obituary

Great idea how to celebrate one's life and give the loved one the message not
to grieve to self harm, just celebrate that they once were.
 
I like her idea in lieu of flowers:

"PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't waste money on flowers. Buy a bunch of scratch tickets and give them out to strangers along your way. Make people happy, that is the best way that you can honor my memory."​

p.s. Did anyone else notice she didn't mention her mother?

Although she had special comments about her father and brothers, she did mention her mom very briefly: "I was born March 7, 1965 in Boston to David and the late Patricia Brossi"

I googled the mom's name and this appears to be her obituary.

I tried to do some math, seems like her mother died 16 years ago and her father died a few months ago, but her father's obituary mentions him being survived by his wife of 35 years. And since Linda died at age 60 I guess that means her father remarried when Linda was 25.

It's sad she didn't say anything about her mom.
 
Writing your own obituary is considered the latest way to have your own feelings shared. I’m not for nor against it. Whatever someone chooses and makes them happy at the end. I’d fear I missed out someone in the list.

It does take the pressure off whomever is doing the eulogy.
