Subject: So sorry for your loss.
I don't know if we have read your beloved's obituary, but my husband and I read your secret -- one of our favorite things is to read PostSecret on Sunday morning when we're still bleary-eyed and in need of coffee, making up stories about the poster's lives -- and he hugged me because it made me cry, and touched the screen saying, "it's really beautiful."
So you just became a part of our story. I wanted to share this with you, because I would be honored to be a part of yours.

Subject: Obituary Secret
To both the sender of the obituary postcard and the person who responded, your words and thoughts were both beautiful enough to make me cry. I work at a weekly newspaper and handle the obits, and wonder about the life of every single person whose obituary comes across my desk.
Sometimes, I shut down a little.
You can only think about death so much. But your secrets made me remember, as I have to every now and then, that obituaries are really more about life.
Thank you.
