I always find it disengenous when people grieve of social media. Like "Look how much I'm hurting right now. I need everyone to acknowledge how much I'm hurt!"

I know someone who lost her husband, recently, in a tragic accident, in his 20's. She used Facebook to communicate with her friends, a few times, early on, because she simply couldn't take all the calls and talk to anyone without falling apart. She wanted to let them know how much she appreciated them, the prayers, the calls, the thoughts, the kind posts, but she couldn't talk at that time. The posts helped her as she read every one of them, but there was no way she could handle being with but a few folks, initially. I completely understood it and didn't see anything that sounded like "woe is me, I'm in pain". Of course, she was in pain. She expressed how much they were helping her through. It was a terrible situation.
I think some use it as an outlet when they can't talk to everyone for whatever reason. I'm not sure it would be my way and I hope I never have to find out, but I understand why some people use it. You can type while you're crying so hard you can't speak to folks face to face.
People grieve in different ways.

Some people have family that can't or won't talk about the grief . Others don't want to burden their family with their feelings. I don't think anybody does it for attention .

But seriously, we live in a vindicative society where the death penalty is prevalent and where family members can view the state murder the murderer of their loved one.
The whole point around that is an eye for an eye, blood for blood.
But for all the wrong that happens to and within this community, we constantly preach love, forgiveness and atonement when everyone else is seemingly looking for blood.
And we expect them to forgive. Look at how the charleston shooting coverage changed once the families forgave that terrorist.

I hope you never have to go through the experience of losing a child or even someone very close to you. Everyone grieves differently. Some stay away from social media, some use it to help them grieve.
There are some mean people here, and that's sad. I thought the post was heartbreaking but uplifting at the same time.

You can also more easily shy away from it when you just aren't able to face the comments. Versus dodging texts/phone calls/visits from loved ones when you just want to be alone in your grief. Posting on fb allows them to in a way deal with the grief on their own terms. I've never faced that heartbreaking of a loss and I hope if I ever did, others wouldn't be judging/mocking me for my posts during that time on fb.

I agree 100%.

Damn, that's sad. What a pretty girl. I can't imagine how hard it is to type that you don't hate the scum that did that, much less actually believe it in your heart. Hate would be a word and a feeling I would reserve just for that person.

I would hope that I would react in a similar manner, but I don't think that I could.
