Now facebook provides the service of "memorializing" people's facebook pages who have passed away. They try to ensure that the persons account is not taken advantage of or used in a way that could be upsetting to the family. It's interesting to see facebook themselves address this. It's become an increasingly more common occurrence for people to leave behind facebook accounts. Although in some ways it feels strange, it's amazing to see their digital lives preserved. In a way, it's almost like going into their home or a private place of theirs since so much about their lives and personality are documented through social media. It also might change the grieving process by allowing fellow grievers to connect with one another.
