So, what becomes of your
content after you die?
#bcn09gonnadie

When a friend died unexpectedly last year I couldn't
bring myself to delete him as a friend on Facebook, but
it is rather disturbing to see his smiling face in my
friends list.
My kids think I'm crazy not to press delete, but it
seems so horrible. I've been wondering for ages what
other people do in the same situation, if there's some sort
of netiquette.

“We’re all haunted by our losses,”
Text
“It’s just that Facebook reminds us of that in a very in-your-face kind of way.
I know it’s an idea of popular culture that you get over a loss. But the reality is, you don’t.”
Dr. Susan D. Block, chief of Psychosocial Oncology and Palliative Care at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston

"The bank, the life insurance company, his pension provider – they were
all happy to deal with us. All of them except for PayPal. We just gave up
in the end. We didn't have what they wanted, and they weren't going to
give us access." - Darren Stuart.

When you're sick in the
hospital you have little
down time.
You're thinking about
saving your life.
Giving up passwords
declares defeat in a way.

Do it now!

... Later that night, I visited Steve’s (Facebook) profile — of course he’s grinning in the photo —
and I gave him a poke. I think that will make a nice birthday tradition.

Thank you.

Thank you.
