Memorial Thread?
« on: April 30, 2012, 04:31:52 PM »
I know it sounds kind of odd, but would a thread dedicated to members and their loved ones who pass be morbid?
Maybe just a spot to acknowledge and celebrate and post obituaries or memories.
It seems to help a lot of people grieve and celebrate the people that are important to them (including pets).
This forum is remarkably comfortable and I think it would be a good place to share these things without fear of ridicule or backlash.

This way the threads won't be lost in the general social area.

Thanks...

When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.

That's not morbid.  This place is a community.  A little spot to remember those who have passed on sounds appropriate.

I agree with Don. It seems to be a good idea.

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)

You know, I meant to mention this to the other Mods, but then I got some Life all over things and totally forgot.  I'll roll it on over to the back room and see what everyone has to say.  A sticky for "Absent Companions" might be nice.

Ok, I'm setting up a thread over in Story of Us, called To Absent Companions.  One of the Big Daddy Mods will have to sticky it.
