Is it normal to not comment on people's deaths?

It's utterly idiotic the stuff some people put on FB from 'I am going to have a cup of coffee' right up to the death of a parent.

Two people I know announced bereavements on FB and it just seemed so inappropriate.

I think it is very stupid when people die, and then they get hundreds of comments on their facebook profile, and continue to get comments almost every single day after their death. Like commenting on a dead person's facebook page is going to do anything more than if you just say a little prayer, or visit the grave? OH FUCKING GOD, is a dead person's facebook an online grave now, you don't even have to go to a cemetery to visit your deceased loved ones???? WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO

When people tell me someone they know has died I, like most people, say Im sorry. But Im not. At all. Its just something automatic that I think I have to say in order to be part of the normal people club. Like a, How are you? Or a Have a nice day. I dont give a fuck how anyone is, I dont care how the rest of their day turns out. I dont care how hot it is or how good your new car is on gas mileage or how big that new born baby was or, or, or... fuck im an asshole and im so glad these are my thoughts and not at all how I present myself, but people should just leave me the fuck alone.

It's normal to feel this way. I wouldn't do anything that you're uncomfortable doing regarding the death of your classmate. There's no need to post a public message stating how much you miss her. However, I don't think it's disrespectful to post that you miss someone on FB. When my brother died I posted a picture of him and talked with people over FB about him. I also put out a public message stating how grateful I was/am for all of their support.

I think everyone grieves differently. Some people want to talk about it and some don't.

I don't think there's anything wrong with what you do, but I don't think there's anything disrespectful about writing online how much you miss someone (provided you do actually miss them). It's no different to writing a message for a memorial or something in real life, only in digital form. You should only say it if you believe it though, because otherwise it definitely would feel disrespectful. It's normal though.

People die. Nuff said. They're gone and that's it

I totally agree with you. Sometimes with those situations, the best things to say are nothing at all.

Don't be too hard on yourself. People are stupid.

your normal

OP here:
Thanks for all the great input everyone! Seems you know where I'm coming from...I just don't like seeing people make posts and comments where you obviously can tell they're only doing it to look like they care or follow the trend, because that's rude to people who really are grieving and were close to the person. But I agree, totally fine and sweet to show your love for someone who passed away on your social networking site. Thanks again!

Its customary to pay your respect to the dead. However people often give you funny looks if you are not upset about it.

Its normal. I had a friend die a couple years ago and another friend kept asking how he died and then was upset a year later when he found out more and was upset I didn't tell him the details. I seriously wanted to break his face for that.
