Two weeks ago, I had my usual catch-up sessions with my girlfriends and this topic came up. Just a few days ago, a website surfaced with “a letter from the grave” – http://www.ogorip.com/my-story.html

Along the same lines, on the 29th of February 2012, Nigerian actress and blogger, Stella Damasus published a personal account of her experience at a close friend’s funeral via PMNews and the struggles her friend went through in her marriage up until “her husband killed her”.
