Not my style. But I don't really see anything wrong with other people having them.

I have issues with all car stickers/decals like that for safety purposes, but yeah. So, I think they're all stupid.
I think they make people who lost someone feel better, and I'm kind of ok with people in that position doing whatever they have to do to go through the greiving process, but I think it's just that. A process. Most people I know who have had memorial car decals end up removing it when the period of grief is over, and they're moving on in the grief process. But I get it from that perspective, I suppose.

It's not my thing and I don't see myself ever doing it. It doesn't bother me though to see it though. I think if it helps them deal with their grief and process everything then go ahead.
I don't really understand when it seems like they put everyone in their family who has passed away on their truck. Like if I read the ages and it was someone who lived to 80+ I don't really get those.
According to GoodReads there are 2 other books in that series, but they're not sequels in the sense of you find out what happens next in the main character's life. It's more like they have the same basic theme.
I have been thinking about this all day, and I didn't know if I'm a horrible person for thinking how I do. The memorial stickers aren't my style, but I can understand I guess why people would have them, especially when it's a family member who was KIA or something. One of H's friends from HS committed suicide very recently, and now I saw on Facebook today that someone is making car stickers and bracelets in memory of him for whoever wants to order them. I don't know, it just strikes me as really weird, especially in this situation. But maybe I'm an asshole.
I don't get the stickers/decals, but I don't get any of them. NMS.
I also don't get the memorial tattoos. My former roommate went out and started a giant tattoo the day after her friend died. I think grief tends to make people do things they wouldn't normally do. I get that it helps them grieve, but I don't think I could do that.
I have some firefighting decals on the back window of my truck. One is W6, which I guess is a memorial sticker. A friend had extras a few years ago so he put one on for me.

MK I think it's more that they are making them in general, especially with the cause of death. But as others have said if it helps them grieve so be it I guess. It definitely just threw me off when I saw it today. I guess the whole FB memorial page did too though.

I have a couple stickers on my rear window but they are small and don't hinder my driving. The are partially gone too because of scraping ice off. I don't think I will replace them.
