Staying in the sand we leave a footprint behind us, but we leave a virtual footprint thanks to the internet. What are we leaving behind? The mourning is taking place online, but how?
Those who are not too big in online life can be active members of social networking sites, and if they don't share photos or thoughts, they leave a trail behind them. We do not think about what will be with this much data, many legacies after our death.
Who likes thinking about death? Of course, no one, but with a few clicks, we can make sure that what happens after our death with our digital legacy can be provided in advance.
We do not want to erode anyone's mood on a sad topic, yet we have to speak about it because the online world is part of our lives. If you do not have the ability to manage your community profile, mail account, website, or leave your password behind, then the pages will be automatically deleted after a long period of inactivity. Photos, thoughts, data are lost, but maybe the better ones are bad.
The bigger problem is if data, correspondence and photos are brought to the family that we never wanted anyone to know. This can already make it difficult for our family members to mourn, but if the profile doesn't disappear, then we can be a virtual spirit among our friends. The community site can bombard your loved ones with anniversary memories. You may be able to break our profile, abuse our account and unauthorized people with our stolen photos and data. It's never easy to face, but it's not possible to let go of our profile after our death.
The mourning can be helped by the community site, and the profile can be declared by the relatives as a memory card in return for the death certificate being presented. In this case, everything on the memorial page that we have uploaded in our lives is made visible to the public. In this case, the data will not be provided to the relatives, but the site will continue to work.
Not only is the digital legacy of the loved one helpful in the mourning, but after the mourning period - before, who later - will feel good if we can recall the person in the photos. In the face of a photo, the tears may smile on our face, with the relief of the great pain, only the good remembrance, the real release, the opportunity to continue a new life without a loved one.
We are reluctant to reflect on what will happen after our death, because the thought of death is frightening. Still, it is worthwhile taking care of who can access our social network, e-mail, and other interfaces with the password.
