[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It means the person died of 'Mind Your Own Business.' [/quote] Plus One Tabratillion. Thread Over. Although, OP, I wouldn't mind seeing your obit read "passed away unexpectedly" in the near future. Please leave your name so I can keep an eye out. Looking forward![/quote] This was mean but funny. I had a family member pass away recently and I was shocked at how invasive people can be with wanting details. I'm actually ok with saying "X" died of a heart attack or stroke-- no biggie, but folks wanted even more details. My family member was found dead and a few people wanted questions about how the person looked dead (ie were eyes closed, fully dressed etc). It was quite weird and I quickly had to learn to shut the conversations down. Greif porn is very real. I am convinced some people get off on tragedy and sadness.[/quote] +100 My dad was private with his health. We did not mention the cause of death, cancer. Passed away is used as commonly as “died” in obituaries and it is considered a kinder way to describe it for grieving families.[/quote]
