Technology and death

Technoloogy has changed the way we handle the death of a friend or love one.  When someone close to you passes away you call everyone who is close to you to notify them of the death.  But what do you do about the people that you only know through the internet on social media?  What we do is we post on our social media sites the information of the passing of our loved one.  We also create posts to share our grief long after the passing of our loved one just to share our grief with our online friends who if they are good online friends they will encourage us back by commenting on our post to let us know they care and many times to let us know we are not alone. 



As a personal note from this writer I have many times placed something just like this to share my grief of losing my husband and my daughter with my online friends who in turn comment to encourage me and let me know I am not alone.
