When writing Mom’s obituary, they broke her heart.

It is customary for family members to write an obituary for a loved one after they pass away. These writings are usually passionate and impassioned, expressing their love and respect for the departed. But not every family wants to write an obituary that is incredibly positive; some might choose to be direct and honest about the life of their loved one.

Because obituaries are typically published in the public domain, whether in newspapers or online, a large audience—possibly hundreds of people—may read them. A prominent obituary illuminates family strife. The two grown children of Kathleen Dehmlow wrote an obituary for their mother and distributed it to everyone in the neighborhood. It appears to be a typical homage at first, but reading on reveals there were unresolved family matters. The conclusion is especially surprising, yet being strangely funny.

The obituary was published in the Redwood Falls Gazette, however it was later taken down due to strong criticism. The accuracy of the obituary was confirmed by a family member, despite the fact that there was allegedly “a significant amount of omitted information.” A family member who was questioned, Dwight, offered an alternative viewpoint. He said that although Kathleen had exhibited regret for her error sixty years prior, everyone makes mistakes.

In spite of this, the obituary writer decided to end things bitterly, which probably made a lot of readers uncomfortable. There were even those who questioned the necessity of publishing the obituary at all. In response, the CEO of the newspaper stated that there was no legal basis for preventing its publication, added that their partners uphold high editorial standards, and acknowledged that they had carefully considered the issues raised by reading the article.
