Yes. Exactly this.
If you're communicating with somebody on a regular basis in person, and they die? You mourn, you send flowers. Hell, you might even go to the funeral home, even if it was in another town.
If it's online? You can go weeks or months and be clueless. And then when you do find out, you feel like you were robbed of something. Something important.
- Verdex 10y agoI had a real life friend die when I was away at college. Apparently everyone else knew even though they were away at college as well. Came back one week too late and found out I had missed the funeral by a few days. I think the problem isn't whether or not your friendship is online, but whether or not it's advertised sufficiently to the next of kin and other relevant social networks.
