[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I actually disagree with the idea that condolences in social media is somehow insincere or trite.  I had lots of very warm and sincere messages from the heart from many close and distant friends.  This was the death of my mom who was elderly and had a wonderful life.  In a way the post was a celebration of the life she lived.  It was a sad post, however death is part life...especially as a baby boomer losing parents, in-laws, and aunts and uncles yearly now.  I do know that one of the friends who did not respond did post in the past about other people's passing publicly...quite often actually--(This person posts about just about everything)--so I know that the issue of death is not something she is uncomfortable with.  Maybe my posts are not reaching her feed...but it is odd that the other posts do.  Usually posts that get lots of comments tend to reach everyone's feeds, so that is why I am puzzled with the lack of responsiveness...or perhaps forgetfulness on her part.  Maybe someone saw the post and thought she should post something thoughtful later, and it slipped her mind.

Anyway, I do appreciate the thoughts from all of you strangers!  And I will try to just let this one go.  It just felt good to vent about it here, on this wonderfully anonymous space.[/quote]
