My condolences, I'm sure going through this sucks incredibly.

I believe it is a little more complex than that, my stand on the issue is it's something you shouldn't have to know, but there's also no reason you shouldn't.

Everyone who believes it's an invasion of privacy is an idiot, and has obviously never lost anyone close to them. You want to find out what's going on? Go ahead, as long as you're not breaking any laws, screw anyone who passes judgement on you so you can get a little closure or information.

While it must be incredibly hard not to know or understand, I don't think this will do you, or anyone, any good. You have enough on your mind already, take care of yourself.

What? The person is dead, I'm sure linx05 knows very well it won't be a journal full of flowers and blissful fields of happiness. He's asking us what we think about it, even the topic itself shows that he is intent on reading the journal.

Going through life is tough, and just because reading the journal "won't do any good" doesn't mean he shouldn't, and it certainly doesn't mean it should brushed off and ignored.

tl;dr: If you want to do it linx05, go for it, and fuck everyone who judges you for it.
