Facebook friend suggestion

Just ignore it. Facebook does these friend suggestions automatically and doesn't know the lady has died.

Just ignore it I have friends who have passed away and they are still seemingly ‘active’ I had a request to send one a birthday greeting the other week it took me aback for a few seconds but as inish says it’s just an automatic thing

When a friend of ours lost a son he left the page open so friends and family could still talk to him. It gave comfort to some people.

Photos of DD often pop up on facebook from 'friends' links. it no longer upsets me and I often do the heart/like thingy so it gets shared.

It's comforting to know she can still 'appear' out of the blue and attract comments and memories of happy times.

Is it me or is that a bit strange marpau talking on social media to a dead person ?
Maybe I'm less understanding as I don't do FB or any others apart from GN.

Ignore is the best advice.

I think that if someone dies their account has to stay open unless they have nominated someone to close it. I suppose it is to prevent people closing one another's accounts out of spite.

You can either give your log-in details to someone you trust, and ask them to close your account for you if necessary, or there is a way of getting Facebook to do it for you. I'm not sure how that works, though, as someone would obviously have to inform them and ask them to do it.

There have been cases where bullies and trolls have posted horrible things on the pages of the deceased, and their loved ones can't do anything about it, which must be really distressing.

I would ask your friend,when appropriate, if she has de activated the account. It may be something she forgot to do or she may want to leave it active.

sodapop I find it weird but each to their own.

Ignore it . I regularly get friend ‘requests‘ from people who are already my friends; their accounts have been hacked . ’

Its so sad that Facebook just leave accounts open indefinitely
Why can't they send an email or message via Facebook say every 2 years to ask if the account is still needed if no posts have been added in that time A statement to say
if the account holder doesn't reply within say monthly reminders x 3 they will close it
It would save such a lot of upset when the account holder is actually deceased for the family and friends
