I am sitting at JFK airport waiting to board my flight to South - TopicsExpress



          

I am sitting at JFK airport waiting to board my flight to South Carolina for my uncles memorial service. In the cab, I posted something to Instagram about this unexpected trip and then I deleted my post because it seemed strange/odd to be mixing something as complex and private as death with something as light and airy as social media. But now here I am wondering what you all think about using Facebook & its brethren media to communicate/process these difficult things. Im well aware that this is yet another such post, but now I am asking a question and it feels like an important one. What do you all think about posting news about loss here or on other social media sites? Clearly, we all use it to post news about life - new babies, etc, but is the flip-side a bit different somehow? Really curious about what you guys think.
