o/t face book and drama

I have a friend that just lost her mom. I can understand her grief and her posting that she lost her mom. It was yesterday afternoon that this happened and since then she has posted about 10 things about losing a loved one.

Post such as "I know you are in heaven right now" or "You will fly with the angles now" "Even the man in the moon is crying and so am i" So about 10 of these types of posts.

Is it just me or is this over kill? I mean I that losing you mom is painful and hard to deal with and she is grieving but why does she has keep posting these things all dang day? It just makes me feel like she is seeing attention. It just makes me not want to have her on my face book or talk to her b/c of the drama. I don't know if I am explaining this right?

I guess my point is that does anyone else think she seeking attention or something? Or am I the only that finds this over kill?

My annoyance would be correlated to her excessive posting before her loss.

There are some people you literally update when they breathe. If she was one of those- then itd be no surprise she'd be the same about any event in her life. If she wasn't- she may still be in the overwhelmed stage of grief.

OMG i totally know what you mean. I have one of them drama fed "friends" she will even post on and on and on about stuff that isnt about her. I refuse to comment on these posts cause one, it gets ridiculous and two, she will start texting me about the crap.
Gawd something is ALWAYS goin on with her. And if its not her its someone she knows and then she makes it hers. She brings new definition to te term debbie downer. And yup, her phone is surgcially attached!

i have a friend who lost her 7yr old son 2 months ago. she posts something daily. its, from my pov, a greving process. your friend may need to talk to someone.

if it bothers u so much, try to not read her posts. or u can delete her and explain y when she asks.

It may just be her grieving process, she may not be trying to gain attention from this. Then again I don't know the woman so you never know, some people will use anything to their advantage to get 50+ replies.

I know when my grandfather passed I was a wreck (still am some days) I made one post about his passing because people knew he was ill and asked for an update, then I posted the video I had made for the funeral home because some of my family who live in other countries couldn't be there and wanted to see it. I never posted anything more because for me it was personally too hard. I'll probably post something on his 1 year of passing, if I feel up to it only because I loved him so much and never want him forgotten.

I know her quite well and she did this for attention, Known her since HS. Every post she has a bunch of responses and she has to post tom every response too.

When my gma died I posted one time as i didn't have the time to be on there all day and night. She will also post things about "you mess with so n so you mess with me too." It's always something. Most of the time it is a warning to someone she thinks wrongs her or someone she knows. She ever just post something that is profound but about her everyday life like "gotta go to boy scouts, man i love this group"

I don't know maybe I just think you should post your everyday life of "I'm going to walmart now" Sorry but I really think that gets old. No one wants to know your everyday life play by play. But that is just me i guess.
