![]() ![]() When people die violently or just suddenly and tragically-as with the heartbreaking deaths of two children hit by a car in Brooklyn on March 5-the finger of blame often points in several directions: How do you write an obituary for someone who dies a tragic death? The more parties are at fault, the more complicated grief can be, since families don’t know where to channel their anger. Also making headlines was a series of package bombings in Austin that killed two people before the alleged bomber took his own life. Flying under the radar were two murder/suicides characterized as acts of domestic violence: men in Kentucky (February 10) and Detroit (February 26) each killed 5 people, including themselves. The nation was horrified but not surprised by the Parkland school shooting on Valentine’s Day, which left 17 people dead. The year 2018 has given us senseless deaths in abundance. Since then, “Tragic Death and Obituary Writing” has become one of the most popular posts on this site. This post first appeared on December 29, 2017, just after the Bronx apartment fire that killed 12 people.
