Wife Promises to Give Dying Husband’s Letter to Daughter, Changes Her Mind upon Reading It after His Death

A grieving woman took to Reddit to ask if she was wrong for keeping a letter from her daughter that her late husband had written. Diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in 2019, her husband was given six months to live but survived nine months. During this time, he wrote letters for their daughters to open on significant occasions, a fact unknown to the girls.

The woman, married to her soulmate since she was 18, found solace in these letters after his death. When their eldest daughter, Mia, got married, she was supposed to receive her wedding day letter. However, the woman couldn’t part with it, explaining:

“I read it and just wanted to keep it to myself. I had his handwriting and his words, and it felt like he was there, and I couldn’t bear the thought of giving that up yet.”

Years later, while moving out, Mia discovered the letter in a dresser drawer. Recognizing her father’s handwriting, she broke down, feeling betrayed. The daughter accused her mother of being selfish, and the woman’s other daughter also believed she was hiding more from them.

Despite the woman’s defense, Reddit users overwhelmingly deemed her actions wrong, calling her selfish for withholding the letters meant for her daughters. Faced with harsh criticism and even death threats, she sought understanding but received little sympathy.

The woman’s story highlights the complexities of grief and the challenges in fulfilling a loved one’s final wishes. The situation remains unresolved, with no further updates from the woman.
