One week after my 35-year-old husband died unexpectedly, I went through his emails. I discovered a “location tracking” service he’d been secretly subscribed to for months. Curious, I managed to log in with one of his old passwords. To my shock, it showed his live location—not far from where we live.Five minutes later, after pulling myself together, I got in the car and decided to track it down.

Suddenly, a chat window popped up on the screen and I receive a girl’s photo and a text. It was from a username I didn’t recognize, saying, “Are you still there? What should we do next?” Someone replied from my husband’s side with a selfie, but it wasn’t my husband.My stomach turned as I realized someone else had hacked his account. I wasn’t sure if I felt relief or even more heartbreak at the empty hope that he might still be alive.
