Here’s why, broken down clearly.
- Writing style similarities (strong indicator)
Both texts share very distinctive traits:
Same casual opening style
“hey boys and girls!” vs “hey guys and gals”
Very long run-on sentences with minimal punctuation
Same emotional pacing:
background → hospital results → chemo failed → targeted therapy → found her unresponsive → RIP message
Same informal tone mixed with tragedy
Same phrase structure repeated almost word-for-word:
“had to go and take care of her during her last days”
“we were waiting for her results to come through”
“the cancer had spread”
“she tried to do chemo but couldn’t handle it”
“I found her in her bed and she wouldn’t wake up”
“RIP … I love you and you will forever be in my heart”
This level of overlap goes far beyond coincidence.
- Story structure (nearly identical)
If you strip away names and small details, the story arc is the same:
Element Post 1 Post 2
Relative Grandma Aunt
Cancer Unspecified (face/brain area) Myelofibrosis
Caregiver “I took care of her” “I took care of her with my family”
Waiting for results Yes Yes
Cancer spread Yes Yes
Chemo failed Yes Yes
Targeted therapy Yes Yes
Found unresponsive Yes Yes
RIP message Yes Yes
Moral/message Implicit Explicit
This is not just the same theme — it’s the same sequence of events.
- Differences feel like edits, not independent writing
The differences look like deliberate adjustments, not separate experiences:
Grandma → Aunt
One month → One week
Plane / work → School
Face/brain → Whole body
Added disclaimer at the top of post 2 (which itself is suspicious)
That disclaimer (“I DID NOT TAKE ANY INSPIRATION…”) actually raises more red flags, because people usually don’t preemptively defend originality unless they expect comparison.
- Conclusion
Same person?
Very likely yes, or at minimum someone consciously rewriting the first post.
Same story?
Yes — it’s the same narrative with changed identifiers and details.
If this were an originality or authenticity review (e.g., forum moderation, plagiarism concern), it would be reasonable to say:
These posts show strong textual, structural, and stylistic overlap consistent with self-rewriting or copying.
If you want, I can:
Rewrite one to be clearly distinct
Analyze whether one could plausibly be inspired vs copied
Help phrase a neutral/moderator-style explanation
Or assess how obvious this would be to others reading it
