Don't you love the photo she chose for her mom?

Wow---and to go months without either her daughter or twin sister even realizing she died.

This brings up a saying that I believe is very true, "growing old doesn't mean that you've earned respect. It means that you haven't died, yet." There are people who make bad choices that really hurt their loved ones and they don't deserve a fond farewell. In that instance, I just wouldn't publish an obituary. If you're that angry and you might have every right to be very angry then get some help healing your wounds, let go of guilt if you're not sad and live a great life.
This is JMHO and I speak from personal experience.

From the posted article above ..
Growing up, Novak says her mom “took sport in ruining every birthday and Christmas” and played cruel pranks on her when she was just little — like allegedly taking her to the top of a bridge and having her and her partner grab Novak's legs and arms and act like they were going to throw her into the water below.
I still can't drive over a bridge without getting an anxiety attack," says Novak.

I wonder what it was like to be the mother in this story. Not in terms of the alienation but just day to day, making all those terrible choices. I'm having a hard time imagining what it's like to live that life.
