Hi there everyone!c",)
My last post was about my friend who passed away last oct.25 with leukemia... I am missing her now so much. Well i opened this up just to have any opinion about her diary. Her family found her diary.. we all know it's personal but people are just curious but they are afraid that the owner would be mad if anyone would try to open her diary they wondered if she might have wrote something that the family should know. I don't have any intention of reading it but the family questioned if is it ok to read it or not?
What do you think friends, is it ok to read our friends diary or any dead people's diary? Or just leave it unread or just bury it to keep it secret and respect the woners privacy. Or are the type who reads anyones diary? just curious though.lol! Do share your thoughts pls. and thanks in advance.

I do not think that she would want anyone to read her diary. I believe that if there were things that she needed to say, she would have either said them or wrote them somewhere separately for others to read.
That being said, I believe that if you are going to do something useful with the information, like write a book about her life and stuggle with cancer, then it would be up to the family to decide. But, I believe that diaries or meant to be kept secret forever.
Unless of course, you have a teenage niece who thinks she's grown and already knows it all. She's running wild and sexually active. If that is the case, then you better become very familiar with her diary. No child should have much privacy when it comes to what is going on in their life. I would even fool my child into thinking they could have privacy in my house. They wouldn't even keep a diary.

NO that is her personal possession. Did she leave a will behind stating what she want done with her diaries?

My best friend who passed away 4 years ago this past October 25th had a journal that he wrote it. After he'd passed away his mom gave some of the stuff to his "friends". The problem was that he was kind of secretive about that stuff with his mom and she didn't know who a lot of his friends were... and she ended up giving it all to one of his EX girlfriends who'd done a lot of bad stuff by him.
I thought it was horrible that she'd did that. Even I wouldn't have wanted it. Because that's just personal stuff that none of us needed to know besides him.
So I'd say leave it. Take it. Bury it. Get rid of it.
But just don't read it.
