Linda Brossi Murphy, a Massachusetts writer who passed away at age 60 after a battle with ALS, left her loved ones one last work of writing: her own obituary.
“Well, if you are reading this, it looks like I’m gone,” she wrote. “Wow, it actually happened… I d*ed of FOMO due to complications of Bulbar ALS.”
Her obituary, posted online by McCarthy, McKinney & Lawler Funeral Home, quickly began circulating across social media, where thousands were struck by Murphy’s bravery and sense of humor.
