Bitterness Exposed in Obit for 80-year-old Kathleen Dehmlow

OBIT FOR DEAD MOM REVEALS DEEP, UGLY BITTERNESS

This past Monday, the Redwood Falls Gazette in Minnesota published an obituary for on Kathleen Dehmlow that has caused quite the stir. Just read it and you’ll understand why.  Just a day later, the paper deleted the obit from its website.  That’s not too surprising, considering.  But family drama can last forever, and this obituary is a testament to that fact.  Yet settling old and bitter scores in an obituary doesn’t do anyone any good at all.  But any obit that exposes old bitterness won’t settle anything for anyone.  And this one is sure to hurt any of the living connected to this family in any way.  I read it and it upset me, and I don’t know any of these people.

FAMILY IS COMPLICATED, AND THERE’S MORE TO THE STORY THAN THE BELOW

One relative said that while the facts of the obituary are true, “there is a lot of stuff that is missing.”  That makes a lot of sense.  But Kathleen Dehmlow isn’t around anymore to give voice to her story.  Not that she should have needed to!  But her son appears to have made that the entire point.  The obit of bitterness reads:
