If I Die, Will You Still Wish Me “Happy Birthday” on Facebook?
I was scrolling through my feed and there it was. Happy birthday wishes to one of my Facebook friends. Her name hit me in the gut. Anita.Last summer, Anita committed suicide on her birthday. I heard about her death from another writer and at first I didn’t believe the news. No one had updated her Facebook page. There was no message from her family. Only this one writer was announcing on his wall that Anita had taken her life. I was dubious but eventually her family did confirm the death, and announced that Anita had requested no memorial.Christine Gilbert3 min read
