Not everyone likes to be reminded that they have lost someone. Not to ignore the fact but simply to make grieving a little easier. I know of quite a few people who have 'suggested friends' up on their pages, and these suggestions are people who have passed away. Hopefully that will change. <br>And i know my first thought when i think of my affairs being in order is...'omg, what will happen to my facebook page!' <br>Seriously!?!?!?!  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jennjenn2286]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 27th 2009 4:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to 'Memorialize' the Facebook Pages of the Recently Deceased]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/27/memorialize-the-facebook-pages-of-friends-who-pass-away/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/27/memorialize-the-facebook-pages-of-friends-who-pass-away/</guid><description><![CDATA[Amen. I've lost a great number of friends over the past few years. This year alone I said good bye to two more. When Levi died it was comforting to know how many people loved him and that nothing is going to happen to any of the deceased users' profiles. I use to think erasing their profiles three months after death wasnt fair to the survivors. As if erasing them from our hearts and minds, but that is gone from sight shall be removed from our hearts and its great to know that the memories of those that have gone on before us will live on forever. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[steelbluetiger]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 27th 2009 4:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to 'Memorialize' the Facebook Pages of the Recently Deceased]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/27/memorialize-the-facebook-pages-of-friends-who-pass-away/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/27/memorialize-the-facebook-pages-of-friends-who-pass-away/</guid><description><![CDATA[Facebook just gave the world "The book of faces"!

Anyone who has ever lost a loved one - be it a relative, friend or even a pet - we all know that the grieving process is cathartic. Being able to continue to remember the person often helps with moving on. Good job Facebook - I knew there was a reason I converted from Myspace...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[iiqtkimii]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 28th 2009 11:25AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to 'Memorialize' the Facebook Pages of the Recently Deceased]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/27/memorialize-the-facebook-pages-of-friends-who-pass-away/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/27/memorialize-the-facebook-pages-of-friends-who-pass-away/</guid><description><![CDATA[I know Facebook is trying to get people to feel warm and fuzzy about all the changes to the new screwed up format, but it still sucks big time.

A guy I was hanging out with and interested in passed away this August and just yesterday facebook had a little note in the corner saying "Reconnect with ____ by sending him a message".

The following September, five months later I thought to create a profile for her (posting both her maiden name and married name) so long lost friends could see what had become of her. I don't even have a face book page! Just seeing my family and her friends on her page has helped give me some closure and has brought a smile to my face more then once seeing pictures of her at her best. Sadly she took her own life, though I'm sure is somewhere smiling too, knowing that she lives on with loved ones in their everyday life. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gnm4321]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 28th 2009 10:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to 'Memorialize' the Facebook Pages of the Recently Deceased]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/10/27/memorialize-the-facebook-pages-of-friends-who-pass-away/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/10/27/memorialize-the-facebook-pages-of-friends-who-pass-away/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thats so sad. :( I'm sorry for your family's and your loss...
