I definitely see your point on the focusing of negative energy, and I think you're viewing it in much a healthier way than me. I just wasn't going to lie and pretend to be a "better man", even though I agree with your point.
However, I think this person spent less energy than others. An obituary is going to be created anyways, so there wasn't any extra effort there. It was probably easier to just tell the truth than to attempt to make up some lies by saying nice things.
It also appears that a lot of energy, effort and money were saved by not doing the whole funeral thing.
I would also think that she got the last word in - if to anybody - it was for herself - good closure to a bad story. Probably got a few more in too if the mother was in the hospital for a while, but that's just speculation.
On the other hand, me posting twice on this thread about this would be considered wasting time by focusing on negative energy, lol.
Like you, I'd rather focus on positive energy and not be sucked down - my life usually seems to turn out better when I do (no sarcasm - that's the truth).
