How odd

Wow - getting invited to re-connect with someone who passed on, now that is one very spooky email. Similar but not as bad as receiving a letter I wrote to a friend that was returned to sender (me) about 2 weeks after his funeral.....that was a sad moment indeed.

Facebook Struggling To Deal With This

webtrainingwheels — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:03:20 -0500

I had never even thought about this issue before reading your post, it was a real eye-opener. Coincidentally I have just been seeing some complaints regarding Facebook's "reconnect" feature they have been highlighting lately. People are complaining because Facebook is suggesting they 'reconnect' with people that have passed away. So clearly there needs to be a better mechanism in place to deal with this issue. Thanks for raising this issue and for the resources you provide.

Wow!

Great post. Something all we mortals need to think about. I have the will, power of attorney, health care proxy. Now, another thing.

On the other hand, I won't be 'round so will I care. (Just kidding.)

Good and plenty!

I find there's a big difference

Between design I like and design I can live with (erm, and afford).

I agree with you...

Totally agree on the Eerie thing, to a degree, nice memorial, but on the other hand....

And what happens if/when these sites sink in with longevity and there are more accounts/people affected with passing away. Just an interesting thought

You're thinking ahead!

Great idea Virginia...of course most people don't think to be so organized & proactive, but it IS an excellent strategy. Thanks for chiming in.

I wrote a bunch of instructions

and stuck it in the note book that has my will and other legal documents. My kids know where this is, and they know how to find my passwords. I hope they can take care of things without too much hassle from a TOS agreement.

Good Point

It definitely makes sense to consider all of these things now that most of us our so entrenched in the digital age. A good friend of my little sis passed away. I didn't know her but seeing her My Space profile and knowing that this person was no longer around to post status updates and that it would be sitting there for all eternity was sort of erie.

Good Point

Really Great

Thanks, Kara, I especially appreciated the current featured article about bullying problems and kids with special needs (did you write it, or is there another Kara), and plan to link to the site from every site I own or influence, and to that article from Can I Sit With You?. Thank you thank you!

Disaboom

You have some great suggestions here. I'd also add www.disaboom.com. I'm a writer there but also a huge fan. The discussion boards and blogs are great. There's also a large and frequently updated article section for parents of children with special needs. Hope you enjoy it!

I JUST left you a comment!

WOW. Catching up on all of your writing instead of doing my work. This was quite a treat. Great pictures!

You'll see my fawning comment about meeting you over at www.kimtracyprince.com - the weekend started last Wednesday night and continued through BlogHer. This old mama is still recovering.

Aren't they great?
