Do the dead care more about poetry than Facebook? Or is puplic expression of grief only acceptable when it scans well?

Good fucking grief (npi). Nobody could possibly be as over-the-top nice as you seem to be.
Sure. In some cases it may help people deal with their feelings of loss. But, like almost everything else posted on facebook, it's done for attention. From the people who post scripture constantly (maybe they are working through problematic feelings they are having with their faith) to the people who post that they like cupcakes (maybe it helps them deal with their cravings and is a major reason for their possible improvements in diet and therefore health), you can find a reason to justify any of it. So, I guess my question is, how much could a halfass post on facebook about someone who died possibly help one deal with the loss of a friend? I bet there are some people it may actually make feel really better. But if that's true, then I'm making fun of those people...
because they're using facebook to work through their feelings of loss. Good God, man.
