What are you thinking? (Part 2)

My best friend's dad died very early this morning, and the family had been warned last night that he only had a few hours. I went with my friend to the hospital and we stayed there for it. My friend's sister never came, but we sent her a text message last night about what the doctor said. What did her sister do?

Within five minutes of being told her dad only has a few hours left, she posted a 'RIP Dad' message on her Facebook. He hadn't even died yet! Am I the only person who thinks this is beyond crazy?

Sorry to hear of that, Femme. :(

As for your friends sister, I wouldn't set your heart against her. Maybe it's natural. I suspect she'd just lost hope and wanted to rid herself of grief, her way of doing it would be to send her farewells in a text message and get it over and done with?

It sounds cold, but I think I can relate to where she's coming from, but then again, on the other hand I don't know your friend or her sister.

Here's to hoping they pull through...

I dont know the situation well enough to say. If she was at odds with her father then that would be something i would expect. But i dont really advocate that kind of negligence...even if you are at odds with someone and they are about to leave this earth. Its only the right thing to do to let things in the past be the past and try to set things straight. I cant imagine not being there 100 percent for someone in my immediate family especially if they were in the hospital.

That action will probably lead to alot of regret i would imagine. But i dont know enough about the story to be conclusive.

She wasn't at odds with her father - she had visited him earlier on in the week when he got sick, but she is at odds with her mother - I had to drive her mom to the hospital. This girl is kind of notorious for being an "attention-whore", and I guess we were expecting her to suspend her typical behaviour in this event. Posting that someone has died on your Facebook before they've actually passed just seems like a really bad omen. What if he somehow came to?

Meh, I don't want to critique her, it just seems really wrong to me. It wasn't a bad message, don't get me wrong - like I said she loved her father, it's just the fact it came before he died was what the rest of us had a bit of an issue with.

It is a bit disturbing. Maybe you're right about the whole "bad omen" thing...

Dear Jessica,

You know how I asked you a billion times to tidy your room before you went away on holiday? And you know how you blatantly didn't do it? Well fear not because I have taken the liberty of doing it for you. So when you come home next week you will find that not only has almost all of your stuff been thrown out or donated to charity, but your TV, DVD player and the digital piano will also mysteriously have disappeared.

Your wardrobe contents? Yeah...not much left of them now either. Same goes for your shoe collection, digital camera and CDs. Also, found both your diaries - read them, lol'd hard and am currently debating whether to share the contents on facebook.

Next time - tidy your room when you're told to.

Yours sincerely,
Mummy-darling xxx

That's incredibly insensitive she did that I think. She obviously wanted the attention... If god forbid something like that happened to my dad I wouldn't be on FB for a really long time. She seems like a narcissist... and I really dislike those types of people.

Grief does strange things to people so i'd with hold judgement on this one.

I personally knew my mother was going to die a full week before she did, even before the '' specialists ''

As she grew nearer to her death my family got angry with me for apparently '' not seeming bothered '' but the truth is i didn't sleep for that entire week... i was wide awake every night thinking of my mother....but there was nothing i could do.

Sure i didn't post anything on Facebook because frankly, i leave my washing on the washing line and not the internet, but again, grief expresses it's self in countless ways and forms.

it doesn't surprise me that upon discovering the reality of her dads fate, she seeked shelter in virtual reality.

Sorry to hear that.
And the daughter's behavior sounds outrageous, but like others have pointed out maybe she couldn't handle it another way. People respond very differently to grief and some do irrational things. She'll probably regret it later.
