[quote=Anonymous]My sister died in her 30s after a long illness. My parent wrote the obit and didn’t mention a cause of death because they wanted to be private about her. I told them they had to say something because people would assume OD or suicide at her age without an explanation. They didn’t know that, and put one in. My sisters death was unexpected in the sense that she had been ill for many years, but no doctor told us she was going to die of her illness - it was chronic and needed to be managed. But she started declining, was in the hospital for a month when the doctors told us they didn’t have any other things to try to get her better. She entered hospice the next day and died eight days later. It’s sad that people make negative assumptions about a missing cause of death. Sometimes it’s just for privacy. [/quote]
