If you died in the morning......

How Soon Is Now

Would you want to be able to see what people had to say about you?

Can't help but notice especially on Facebook how people react when someone dies sometimes a lot more than others would receive.

Does make me wonder what would people really say about me behind all the Facebook condolences.

They'd prob say I was a cúnt......and they'd be bang on the money

Menas

I will be dead. A lot more to be worrying about than what is said about me on facebook!

Wouldn't want to see even if I could. Especially the grieving words from those who can't be bothered being part of my life or treating me right when alive. And frustrating as fcuk knowing that they're the ones who'll be most involved / affected, but not much I can do about it.

The ones who mean a lot to me and are genuine, loving people in my life, who mean the world to me, I can already imagine a lot of what they would say. and even if I could hear it now, I wouldn't want to hear it.

Honestly, I just hope I don't get the "rent a grief" crowd.
You know, the ones who act like you were besties and are all conspicuously bereft on facebook etc despite now knowing the person that well and not having seen them in years.

Don't worry, someone would take it under the pretense, "It's what he would have wanted!" :P

I typed grief porn into redtube and a lactating ginger came up first.

This means I dont believe you.

Yeah when I die I'll be too busy looking for the horned one to be bothered about Facebook. We have unfinished business.

I hardly read other people's facebuke comments right now. Doubt that'd change after I'm dead.

LizT

Meh, I think it would probably piss me off reading fake comments from people who probably don't give a sh1t.

But I better get an AH RIP thread and I expect you all to mock me mercilessly.

It's so weird, I was thinking about this last night when they were talking about the guy in Australia on trial for the murder of that young irish chap and I remembered eirebhoy's RIP thread

I believe you. A friend of mine passed away a few years ago- some of the people who posted about it on facebook, wailed hysterically at the funeral (didn't show up in the graveyard funnily enough-well it was cold :rolleyes:) and tried to justify organising a piss up in said person's memory as "it's what they would have wanted" almost drove me to manslaughter. Especially as they didn't bother their arses checking in with her while she was ill, when she actually needed her friends.

I had to be talked out of confronting one of them after the mass.

I know what you mean, but you can still be upset by a death despite this. Its not fake grief for attention always..a lad I used to know in school died in a car crash not that long ago. I never knew him that well but he was a lovely guy, I hadn't seen him in years but I was still quite upset by his death.

Miss Demeanour

Was at a funeral many years ago when the grieving widow said the immortal line.....
"What a night the f*cker picked to die...I'm missing Coronation Street over him...."
So yeah once it's not along those lines it'll be grand.......

jungleman

I'd love to hear what the biddies would be saying about my appearance.

"Ah he looks great, doesn't he?"

"Yeah Mary, he doesn't have that 'waxy' look some of the corpses have."

"No he doesn't, he look like himself in fairness."

beks101

Ah just the usual shyte I'm sure "such a beautiful girl....so much going for her....so full of life...she crammed more into her 30 years than most of us do in a lifetime..." yadda yadda yack.

Ultimately we're all a bit ordinary. I'm sure my ego would cream itself though if I was around to see it.

Oh I know, but I'm sure you knew what was appropriate behaviour. Those of us who actually knew the person I mentioned earlier were upset enough as it was and knew damn well what my mate would have said it she could see the eejits in question.

I listened to this programme last night on BBC Radio 4, it's about what happens a persons digital life after their death. It is a subject which is going to matter much more in future. The likes of Facebook and G Mail will refuse to give anyone access to the deceased persons accounts without a court order.

I'm sure the world would grind on without me.
Beyond my family and handful of friends I would make as much of an impact as most people do, we feel bad and upset, we commiserate but the grass still needs cutting and the dog isn't going to walk itself.
As for FB and the rest, don't really care all that much, seeing as I won't exist to give a fiddlers.

Someone asked me where I'd like to be buried when I die recently. "Surprise me" I said.

Dozen Wicked Words

Don't have Facebook so don't know what would be written. I do know my kids would be going to their teachers looking to get out of homework using the dead dad card. At least I'd be of some use to them that way!

Hopefully deleting Internet history won't be such a rigmarole. I think you should have a clause in a will for some trusted mate who can do this on your behalf.

They would say I was a sweet soul.

I wouldn't really be bothered to know. I would only worry about those who were close to me being sad really.

I would hope there was more support and kindness from people for them and my family etc.
