in Jan, her death was tragic. Her FB account is still active and her friends who are not aware of her sudden death keep on posting on her wall.

Near to me i wont delete his/her name from anywhere..atleast it will remind me of nice time i had with him/her..or atleast it will let me pray for him/her from Allah Almighty to rest his soul in peace..i am sensitive in this way..i cant erase memories easily from mind and from anywhere..by the time memories get faded but its really a rude act to remove and erase their names or whatever they owned..think when they are alive how much care we give to them..after death we should remember them as they are alive..atleast in our memmories..

my condolences.

this just happened to me recently, some classmates, 2 of them, from college died in an accidental fire in the hospital where they were working. I did not delete them from my facebook/multiply accounts. :)

SS, sorry to hear about your loss.

Re: thread Q: I won't delete. A friend is a friend and I hold them dear. I usually add very few people to my FB.

You dont need a number to remind yourself of him. Eventually you will lose your phone or delete it by mistake. Greive all you want. Give thanks for the laughter and fun you had with him. You were privileged. Think of him with a smile But let him go. He has fullfilled his assignment here.

yes guys when we lose something that is precious to us, we are left with a feeling of sadness. Whether it is a precious friend or even a treasured object, the loss can be hard to bear its realy painful. It is as if a part of you has gone missing. we may realize that there is a certain aloneness that can never be filled. I can delete name or number in my mobile but sweet memories in heart never be deleted........

I still have the number of a friend who passed away, it hurt at first but now its a comfort to remember the happy times we had. Time is a great healer.

time will heal all wounds... pray for your friend every time you remember her. in my case when i dreamed of someone who passed away, i pray for his/her soul bcoz i believe that its they're way of saying "please pray for for my soul"...

TAKE A DEEP BREATH then,close ur eyes and remember all the good things you've shared.

That would motivates you not to erased that number in your list.

if it gives you good memories then why erase her from your list , i know its hard for you to look at her name and erase it , its hard . if it makes you upset just go to her name close your eyes and delet it . when you do that you will cry for a while , but you will have to move on , just keep her memories in your heart and cherish them forever .

saggi, maybe because you still haven't moved on.. getting over a loss like this takes time especially if you really value the friendship..

By snessy• 16 Mar 2010 08:31

I would and have kept the person on my lists, I quite like seeing their name and it gives me a moment to remember them.

If you aren't sure - do nothing for the time being.

Then one day the answer will come by itself.

I wouldnt have the guts to do it , i would leave it their and everytime i pass by her or his name , i would ask from god to give them peace in their grave and wish for them paradise . its hard to delet a person from your list who passed away , i cant do it coz i am really sensitive person when it comes to this issue .

saggi, sure there is no point of keeping contact details of friends who passed away, but if you still want to keep it, im sure it's ok as well..

mj,i am indeed a bit confused in this issue :-S i really don't know what is the right thing to do.
