I get physical mail addressed to my late mother at my current address, which I did not own or live at during her lifetime.
Political ad/survey text messages also seem to think my number is my late grandfather's, even though my given name isn't the same as his.
This is a wheel that everyone is asleep at it, and they really don't care. If it happened to a mega-rich CEO something might happen, but they have people to handle their mail.
- weinzierl 2y agoI have been getting physical mail addressed to my late mother for more than 15 years from a charity she used to donate to and that had supported her education when she had been an adolescent. She always talked about that time very fondly and receiving that yearly letter always made her happy. I could never bring myself to inform them about her death and end that yearly tradition.
- The_Colonel 2y agoMemento Mori is a cliché, but it really is powerful (if truly experienced, not merely acknowledged on a rational level) . It seems to me that we're living in a sort of haze, caring about unimportant, downplaying/postponing the really important stuff. Whenever I have this deep realization I can die any minute, I cut tgroygh this haze, I can re-focus on what's (for me) truly important - namely close personal connections, chiefly my family and good friends.
