grandpa passed away; found out on FB
My grandfather had Alzheimer's and has been in a nursing home for about a year. We all knew it was coming, but we weren't sure when.
I went on facebook this morning when I woke up, and one of my cousins posted that he had died. I called my mom right away (maybe it was possible it was a difference grandpa?), and she told me that he had passed away in his sleep. My mom and DH are really upset that I found out via facebook.
Grandpa was a wonderful, brave, amazing man. I'm going to miss him so much...

Re: grandpa passed away; found out on FB
I think it's worth mentioning to the cousin that posted it...just replying to her message should do. I don't think people realize the dangers of facebook, don't think about anything bad that could come out of it.
When my dad was in the hospital for heart surgery, my sister posted all the scary updates. She's friends with my friends and therefore, I had a bombardment of messages, voicemails, and etc. While I know my friends were being supportive, it was more then I was ready to handle. I was trying to process it all myself and I just wasn't ready to talk to others about it, and she slingshotted me in that position. I begged her to stop, and this led to stressful squabbles amongst us in the waiting room. We never came to an agreement, she never saw my point and while I did see hers (she wanted as many people praying as possible) it never really worked out except my dad got better.
The really downside to it, there was a friend of mine who lost her father to heart problems about 4 months before...and upon seeing our news, it kind of brought her right back to where she felt learning about her dad and she had a really difficult reaction (which is part of what I feared). Not that she won't have to deal with that over and over as time goes on, but it was so new I was trying to spare her, especially since he ended up okay.
I'm so sorry about your grandfather, it's difficult news to hear no matter what, but your cousin just plain sucks
I would definitely say something to your cousin. That was extremely inconsiderate of her, even though she probably did not even realize it. But she needs to know.
I am very sorry to hear about your grandfather. Hugs.
I am so sorry for your loss. T&P your way.
I am so so sorry for your loss.
I HATE when people post such things on FB. It's intrusive and not at all helpful. I'm so sorry you first learned of his passing in such a public way.
