dead wife montage

A "dead wife montage" is a visual media device used to introduce a deceased or missing character, most frequently a dead wife. The character is heavily romanticised in the flashback-style clip compilation ("montage") of happy memories the deceased shared with the affected character in the present story. Through the flashback, the deceased person is often portrayed as an angelic, flawless and almost superhuman person who heavily influenced the affected character's life, who still struggles to deal with their passing/disappearance. The montage is often but not always accompanied by sad/sentimental music.

This stlye of flashback has drawn attention on social media in recent years, with many online comedians producing sketches which aim at making fun of the trope.

I wish I was dead

(Darling, no! Oh god, no no no. Please don't.. Look, I know I am just a stranger on the internet you just found but listen here, I just need to tell you this. I understand your feelings and desire for it but- but this isn't how you end it. You have so much potential. You- You are just.. lucky in your own way, maybe. I don't know you or what kind of life you've had but trust me, I had the same life too. Whether it's because of family issues, personal stuff, work problems, bullying, disability, harassments, whatever it is.. Don't. Even I have problems and I came here to define this term/help you all out. Please don't. You can do this. Even though we may have never met or will never do it. Just remember..

There is a person whose dream life is yours.
There is a person who thinks about you, indirectly.
There is a person who cares.
There is a person who smiles everyday because of you.
There is a person who healed because of you.

I wish to be the same person for you.

Keep smiling. Keep laughing. And never ever lose your bright joy in the dark tunnel of life and trauma.)

Anyways..

Actual Definition: A phrase either told as a joke by people when something bad happens or when they are in a situation or a phrase told by depressed and broken people who cannot take life's burden anymore and just wishes for the end of their existence to wipe away the pain and trauma.

EXAMPLE 1:

(Person 1 spills coffee over her new dress)

Person 1: Oh sh- (sighs) I wish I was dead.

Friends: (snicker) Dudee.. You can't say that-

EXAMPLE 2:
(Person 1 is depressed and alone)

Person 1: I wish I was dead-

Friend: Are you okay? Do you need help?

Person 1: ... yes.. Remember: It's okay to let go and ask for help

Friend: Let's talk. It's gonna be alright..
