Just sign the book of condolence like everybody else you, pay your respects at the funeral and stop the blatant attention seeking.

By the same token one might ask: The person is dead, why are you 'posting' to their book of condolence?

I don't do it personally. I see no problem with it though. It can be comforting to the family that the deceased is held in a high enough regard to message them. Greasing doesn't end with the condolence book, you know.

Check in with the family then by calling into them. There's a guy I know who died 5 or 6 years ago and there's still people posting up happy birthdays and 'I still can't believe you're gone' messages. At this stage, imo, they're just doing it for the benefit of everyone else that they're friends with and they're essentially 'Look at me! I still care!' statuses. I think a private message to the family to see how they're holding up would be preferable and more beneficial to those that are grieving.

I saw a status on a dead person's facebook which was a picture of balloons and the message 'Happy birthday in heaven!'

I always thought that was a memento for the grieving family.

But posting and addressing directly to the deceased on FB is weird to me.

This particular idiot is always posting rubbish like this, last week she posted a picture of her dinner with the same hashtags.

It was a dry piece of salmon,about 7 carrots and a few baby spuds.

these people are the death of humanity

Is it a new thing among young people to post tributes for deceased friends to their facebook page?

It's strange reading updates to the deceased persons page with them tagged in the post along the lines of;

"It's heartbreaking to say goodbye (tags name) but it was a privilege knowing you. without your refined arsenal of remarkably slanderous insults I don't know how I'll stay grounded. Thanks for all the good times and for being a great friend all these years. Only wish we had a few more"


Cue additional posts trying to outgrieve each other. I don't understand it myself. The person is dead. Why are you posting to their facebook page???

that there is the problem

asking attention seekers to stop seeking attention

I don't necessarily think it's much different. The way that people communicate and interact has changed, so I think it's natural that the way they grieve and mourn would change in tandem with that.

I'll be honest, I lost a very close friend just under a year ago and did end up posting on his page. I didn't post on my own page because I saw no reason for friends of mine who didn't know him to read my message but, a few days after the funeral I got very emotional and wanted to let him (yes I know) and his friends/family know how much he had meant to me and affected my life. I do think I reflected a lot of his personality in my post. It wasn't about my grief but genuinely about what a great guy he was (and I'm willing to let someone read that if they don't believe me). I know that others agreed with me.

However, on the other hand, I do agree that I have seen many posts that are somewhat attention seeking. They're usually overemotional and exaggerated and often publically on their own page as opposed to more privately on the deceased's page. Those posts do annoy me, including ones my cousins put up about my own grandfather.

I'm not entirely sure about what I'm saying in this post but I suppose it's a different viewpoint. I would never expect myself to have posted what I did but emotions led me to it however I'm not ashamed of it either if it helped me cope and show others what a guy my friend was.

Note: I may be a bit emotional today as I have been thinking about him a lot lately.

TL/DR: Sorry, I did that once while grieving.

Someone commented "what's up, chick?" And I lost it.

Can you not just go to the gym and leave your Fcuking phone in a locker for an hour?

I know one of these too.

On Instagram she's all #fitfam #paleo #gains #protein #nocarb #askmefcukingslice

I added the last hashtag myself.

However on Facebook it's constant check-ins at the pub with "drinking all the alcohol" and "sneaky cheat meal time". Except the sneaky cheat meals are pretty much every day.

I have had to unfollow as the hypocrisy was unreal. One thing on Instagram, an entirely different life on Facebook.

If a person goes to the gym but nobody is around to see it, does the person get gainz?

Understandable, and I have been in a similar position, for me I found it very helpfull to write a letter, the act of writing things down really helps, I even posted it, no stamp, no address .. just his name - that alone was very helpful for my grief.

Also remains completely private, but I do understand why people might want to post on fb to make a record of it, it's just abused at this stage.

On the subject of grief and Facebook. There's this aul one that was friends with my mother, she lives in Scotland now but would bore you senseless, all her posts are about being an Irish mammy, her kids - literally everything about them, if someone's mean to her in work, and tragedy.
Now she knew my dad, she was bridesmaid at their wedding so I assume she knew him well. But they wouldn't have seen each other in years.

So my dad got cancer. I kept his private news off Facebook.
He was going through treatment, again there was no tagging ourselves on the oncology ward.
He was dying, again nothing on Facebook.
A couple of nights before he died I changed my profile photo to my favourite one of us together. His niece commented underneath it "stay strong", and a few of my friends commented it was a lovely pic. Some other family and close friends would have said stuff like "thinking of you" etc.

So she mails me to ask what's wrong. I tell her my dads dying, he's really unwell and we were told that's it.
Within seconds there's a status.

"Praying for a dear friend *daddy lexie* who's being called home on his final journey. I'm not ready for you to go xx"

And all her other aul one friends commenting underneath it
"Aw you poor thing, thinking of you at this sad time"

I was absolutely furious. If I didn't have enough to be dealing with, she had to broadcast my dad on his deathbed for likes and sympathy.

Grief ****. :mad:

Competitive grieving is disgusting and truly a measure of how self-centred a person is.

God yeah.

I can laugh about it now because it's over 6 years ago but the sight of my bitch of an aunt throwing herself sobbing onto my brother's coffin at the removal enraged me. She would have been hard pressed to say hello to him when he was alive.

What an absolute geebag. That is the type of shíte that infuriates me - using other people's grief to get attention for themselves. There is nothing in what she's doing there that is going to be of comfort to you or your family.

Donal Dineen wrote a little eulogy to an friend of his, the pianist Conor Walsh, that passed away at the weekend that was eloquent and heartfelt. It describe how important this friendship was to him even though it was brief and intermittent. Like I imagine XxMCRxBabyxX's post was about his friend, it conveyed a lot of what was great about Conor, not to draw attention to himself and his grief but to acknowledge the hole that Conor's passing would leave in the lives of those around him. It was everything that Lexie's father's friend's post wasn't.

It's usually pretty easy to detect what is a sincere post about the passing of someone that is special to the poster and those that are self serving and attention seeking imo.

Disgusting, does she really think that she is being sympathetic here ?

Surely she can see its a purely selfish act to get attention for HERSELF!!!

My brother's girlfriend's brother was hit by a car and was in a coma for a few days before he actually died. In those few days his sister, more than once, had to reply to RIP comments about him, some from people he/they barely knew, trying to explain that he hadn't actually died yet. I was so angry at the time, actually posted on here about it. It's hard enough being at his bedside knowing that it was coming and then you have people basically already wishing it on him

glad I never bothered with farcebook..

It's incredible and never ceases to amaze me how narcissistic people are. Farcebook is a podium for each and every one of them.
