HI All Katie Cumiskey and I wrote a book on mobile media practices and loss which features discussion of FB posting and their affect. It also looks at the continuity with previous practices of loss and grieving, especially in cross-cultural contexts.

One of our MA students interviewed both younger and a couple of older people regarding their experiences with death and bereavement on FB. I summarized some of the points in a forthcoming chapter: == Important examples of such courage and resistance are documented by Astrid Hovde (2016) in her interviews with the bereaved who first learned of the death of a sibling, close friend, or child through a hasty posting to their Facebook page from someone seeking to express condolences. Certainly, a number of important positives flowed in many instances from diverse uses of social media in these experiences. But for six of ten interviewees, multiple aspects of such online grieving and memorializing were increasingly experienced as fake, as more self-interested expressions from persons who paid no attention to them in their offline encounters (Hovde 2016, 101). Not surprisingly, several found that grieving required the embodied co-presence of others – family and close friends – who could hold and comfort them in their deepest moments of sorrow and anguish. The sharp contrast between these online and offline experiences inspired two interviewees (“Sophie” and “Elisabeth”) to dramatically reduce their use of Facebook (Hovde 2016, 51-59) – a form of courageous resistance and disobedience to prevailing norms, especially for young people in Norway who are among the most active users of social media. These turns away from social media were, however, necessary in order to confront the deeply existential experiences of loss, and to then take these up, in Jaspers’ and Arendt’s terms, as limit-situations that open up new possibilities for us (natality) – specifically as they found therein ways of moving into new stages of independence and relationship. == The thesis is publicly available: Hovde, Astrid Linnea Løland. 2016.

MA thesis, Department of Media and Communication, University of Oslo. <https://www.duo.uio.no/bitstream/handle/10852/52544/Hovde-Master-2016.pdf?sequence=5> Additional resources can be found via the Death Online Research Symposia (DORS) and the work of its participants - certainly including Larissa Hjorth and Katie Cumiskey, as Larissa noted. The group has a FB page (of course): <https://www.facebook.com/groups/DeathOnlineResearch/?multi_permalinks=1076644705844646%2C1075485012627282%2C1075441515964965¬if_id=1535339058151279¬if_t=group_activity> I would search for the work of Stine Gotved; Elaine Kasket (_All the Ghosts in the Machine: Illusions of Immortality in the Digital Age_, now on Amazon); dorthe refslund christensen; Ylva Hård af Segerstad and her work on bereaved parents' use of FB, e.g., Bereaved Parents’ Online Grief Communities: De-Tabooing Practices or Relation-Building Grief-Ghettos?
