My GF was FB friends with a kid she mentored through work who was killed in an accident. His friends go there and post to him periodically. Kind of weird, but if it helps them cope.

I have one, a childhood friend who was like a sister to me. She died of cancer a few years ago.

I never got the point of posting on the walls of deceased people, but I had kind of a bad day today and almost tagged her in a post saying how much I missed her. I guess it was more for her family (husband & kids), to let them know she was still missed by others. (FWIW, I didn't do it because it seemed too creepy, but will probably write a PM to her daughter soon about her.)

That's exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about. I mean really, what's the point of posting that ?


As a sort of memorial?

A few acquaintances. One was a comedian who was actually a good friend of mine who was murdered.

My Cousin Luke died 18 months ago, I post to his fb wall still sometimes just to say i love you, because even though he can't hear it or read it, I still need to say it, because that hole is with me every single day, and I need something positive to counter act it or it will suck me inside of it.
Some days I think I'm learning to live with it, and some days I cry like it happened yesterday. I was a cynical person who didn't understand why people couldn't move on before he died, but losing someone that close has changed me, forever I fear, and I don't wonder about other peoples ideas and coping mechanisms anymore, I just try and hold on to what keeps me whole and take it as it comes.

I don't think i currently have any.

I had one, but then some one started posting on it as a tribute thing and it was freaky so I deleted.


Also it was kind of strange seeing all these people post about him going to heaven and going to a better place. People that I know that are Christians that according to their beliefs, he wouldn't be in the better place.

Still have an ex gf of mine that killed herself as a friend. Ive posted once or twice since her passing 3 years ago. I just chalk it up to being human and wishing they were still here at times. I want to think she was a good person but she was looney tunes. Im still mad at her for leaving behind her son.

My dad, my grandpa, and a buddy from Iraq. Deleting them doesn't feel right.

Yep, quite a few actually.

Their parents/siblings/kids post stuff to them all the time.

One of the worst is a girl I only knew a short time before she got sick. She has a really young daughter and over the last 2 years since her mom died there'll be a really random I miss you mommy post that comes across my newsfeed. Sometimes it really takes me back, others it pisses me off because the kid is too young to type that well and I know it's the Dad finding some way to let her keep a connection to her mom, but it seems a little too public to me and it's heartbreaking to see a kid in mourning.
