Yes, you seem to miss the fact that it's an obituary written by someone who loved the person who has died.

Complaining that she "puts herself in the story"? On her personal blog? When someone she loved has just died? Seriously? Are you really that callous?

(And if my ex wrote about me like that after my death, then I'd be perfectly fine with it.)

I'll admit to a fair share of kneejerk annoyance to her writing and her attitudes in general.

But my sense of her article is that she's maybe a bit insensitive to the person who was his current partner, Taren. Some feelings aren't meant to be written down and shared with all the world to see.
