My exgirlfriend passed away a year and half ago. My last words to her a year before she died were cruel and ugly and consequently I didn't hear from her family about her death, but learned of it from an online obituary of a small town paper.

I was not friends with her on facebook (our relationship predated it), and so I cannot tease out our memories there. But the loss remains and I find myself returning to her obituary every few weeks.
