What happens to my social media accounts and emails after I die?

This is something most of us don't think about until it's too late—and then our families are left guessing what we would've wanted. The truth is, different platforms handle this differently. Facebook lets you memorialize an account or designate a legacy contact. Google has an inactive account manager. But here's what matters: without planning, your accounts often just sit there, frozen in time, sometimes becoming targets for hackers or spammers. What I've learned from thinking about Rabia's legacy is that our digital presence is real presence. Your emails hold conversations. Your photos hold moments. Your accounts hold relationships. If you care about these things—and most of us do—you can take control now. Write down your passwords in a secure place (not a sticky note). Leave instructions with someone you trust about which accounts matter to you and what you'd want done with them. Some people want their Instagram to become a memorial. Others want everything deleted. Some want their partner to keep their email for a while, to read old messages. There's no wrong choice here. What matters is that you choose it, so the people you love aren't left deciding for you.
