Now that I think about it, I am going to be sure to tell my family that I don't want my obit to say anything at all about my disability. Fuck that. They can say whatever else they like about me.
One thing that would be funny to include, but that they never would, is a modified version of lyrics from this hilarious song: "He liked butts and he could not lie." (I like small ones too)

"She died doing what she loved: eating fine foods until her arteries gave up."
Way too realistic... *goes check her cholesterol levels*

It would say: "Malibu, who?"
I will write my text myself, just be be sure it´s how I´d wanted. It could be a song, and I would hire peepl to sing and cry my death
hahaha no, not really. It would say. Malibu. You have never been funny but we loved you nevertheless.

I've written a couple of obits before, and I put all the passion I could muster into those passages; I've also been the officiant of a funeral and that was quite an experience. I gave a hell of a speech (eulogy).
But for my own? Ugh, I probably couldn't trust anyone I know to write eloquently about me, or even say anything nice. So, I'd have to write my own, which probably isn't a bad idea. I'm sure mine would be full of narcissistic euphemisms, a general effort to make myself sound much cooler than I am, er, WAS in real life.
Cause of death? If I was being truly realistic, I may have to put something like "succumbed to her lifelong battle of depression." But that's scary, so hopefully it's something like "smothered to death in her sleep due to her overwhelming desire and devotion to her partner, having squeezed him so tightly during her slumber that she, herself, could not breathe." I'm SURE if I'm writing it myself, they'd have to buy an extra page or two to make space.

Paradise 's picture made me think of mine: When the first breath of winter through the flowers is icing And you look to the north and a pale moon is rising And it seems like all is dying and would leave the world to mourn In the distance hear the laughter of the last unicorn And only those who had somehow acquired that random VHS starring Mia Farrow, Alan Arkin, and even Jeff Bridges singing the best love song ever would know what the hell that meant

And yes, it made my Last Unicorn-loving fangirl self just swoon with delight. I love the movie; I love the song... and you know my overly-romanticized ideals... I feel like the movie could be a metaphor for the things that happen between AB/dis couples. Who will truly be the Last Unicorn? But thanks for the lyrics!! Made my morning, to have someone recognize that and get into it like me!  |

The most heart-warming obituary comes from the show Curb your enthusiasm:
"devoted sister, beloved aunt"
What could go wrong?
