Part 4/10:

Another case involved a cancer patient who, after an arm amputation, filmed an elaborate TikTok "funeral" for her limb—an act that some interpret as a coping mechanism, others as an attention-seeking stunt. The video features her dressed up and giving a eulogy, with other friends sharing their thoughts on the bizarre tribute.

While she claims it helped her process grief and find closure, critics argue that publicly broadcasting such personal mourning trivializes a deeply traumatic experience. Should we normalize memorials for body parts? If so, should these be shared online, or are they uniquely private? The line between heartfelt catharsis and spectacle becomes blurred, especially when the act is tailored for maximum engagement, likes, and views rather than genuine healing.
