Same thing happened to a friend of a friend
shed been with her fella since they where teenagers and finally,after many years together,got married
a few years later he was killed in a freak accident and you wouldn’t believe the outpouring of people openly picking over the details online
what they didn’t know,they openly made up
silly things like they didn’t own dogs (they have two) and he wasn’t walking them when he was killed-he was chasing his autistic child
they don’t have an autistic child
he was apparently dealing drugs in the spot he was killed-he wasn’t
he’d gone to meet a prostitute for a shag-he was 100% faithful to her
They’d faked his death to claim from the council
his widow had to read all this shite online and when she tried to put the record straight,she was shushed and called a liar
anyway she got a healthy payout from the council-she used it to improve her home
the outpouring of jealousy was unbelievable-people where saying that they’d lose a dearly loved husband for half what she got and that she was money grabbing and selfish-she should have donated it to a charity
it was bad enough that she lost a dearly loved husband that she’d been with most of her teens and all her adult life-she had to defend herself to online twats (most of whom she’d thought where her friends) egging each other on
she was called greedy for taking money she was entitled to and told she wasn’t tearful enough in the street-she was hauled over the coals when she went back to work-you know,to earn money as bills don’t pay themselves and she wanted some kind of normality back
i know for a fact,she’d rather have him back and to never claim a penny
