To think people shouldn't put RIP announcements on Facebook  (22
Posts) Picturesinthefirelight Sun 25-May-14 12:13:07  Not until
the immediate family have announced it publicly.  A friend of my
in laws died yesterday of a terminal condition. They were in the
area visiting her at the time.  As soon as the news began to
spread people started putting stuff on Facebook. Surely they
should wait in case there were important people who hasn't been
got hold of yet. Imagine finding out like that.

tiny village in Greece when my nan died suddenly, I found out
when I went on FB and saw my cousin had put rip nan. I was
devastated and spent an hour trying to get through to someone.

wrong with my grandmother because of some of my cousins' posts
on FB. My Dad called me the next morning to tell me she had
died.  Forgettable Sun 25-May-14 12:38:16  It's the wanting to
