Dear Queenie,
When my grandmother died I posted on Facebook about how much I loved her and missed her and lots of people sent me condolences.
My Mom said it wasn’t right for people to find out about something like that on Facebook, but she put a death announcement ad in the newspaper.
Queenie, what’s the difference?—Grieving grandson
Dear Grandson,
As long as what you posted was not disrespectful in any way, I see no difference.
I am guessing your mother is not familiar with how social media work – or is too familiar with some of their less-attractive aspects.
