Scenario

When you impersonate your deceased spouse online to avoid social obligations of widowhood

I have been pretending to be my deceased husband on his social media accounts for three years because I cannot handle people knowing he is gone and asking me how I am doing.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Maintaining the digital presence of the deceased can become a way of avoiding the social burdens that come with being identified as a griever.
