the online presence of a dead person
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010 11:05 pmI put mum's facebook account into memorial mode a few weeks ago and then tried to ignore the problem of mum's online presence, but it's something that I've been thinking about increasingly over the last couple of days.
One of mum's friends thinks we should delete anything we can't lock down (ala her facebook account), but I'm not sure I can bring myself to do that. It feels a little bit like erasing her life. Which sounds ridiculous. But there's where my head and my heart been going on this question.
Any thoughts from you, my lovely friendslist? I'm not sure I can be objective on this.
