[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am so, so sorry for your loss. And I am so sorry that some "friends" haven't reached out to you, on Facebook or otherwise. I call bull$hit on the PPs who said it didn't feel "appropriate" to offer condolences on FB, or that it makes them "uncomfortable." This isn't about you - it's about your friend, who has just suffered a devastating loss.

Unfortunately, some people are self-centered and self-absorbed. It's a shame.

I lost my mom last year, and I posted it on Facebook. It may seem strange, but that's the reality of modern communication. The notes of condolence, whether from my dearest friends, or from elementary school teachers from decades ago, were comforting to some degree. When you're dealing with that depth of grief, every little bit helps.

And also, FB algorithms take to the top of your newsfeed any posts mentioning births, deaths, etc. So, it's very unlikely that people didn't see the post.

I seriously hate some of you and your $hitty, self-centered responses to this post. [/quote]
