My way is more in line with something one of my wonderful and much-missed grandmas used to say: “I save my tears for my pillow.” Grief is very private for me. My sister and I, needless to say, approach grief differently. But I feel the need for some advice about what to do about the photo tagging and public sharing of photos that include me with my dad. The profile/cover photo changes bug the crap out of me - they feel like outright bids for sympathy and attention - but I recognize it’s my sister’s right to do what she wants with her social media presence and I can just scroll right past anything that gets under my skin. Just last week, she directed a public message to me that featured a 26-year-old photo of him walking me down the aisle on my wedding day…a photo that she’s posted publicly before, more than once. I’m having a hard time expressing the following without adding my own interpretation/judgment so I’ll just say simply that the youngest of my three sisters regularly changes her Facebook profile picture and cover photo to include images of him, and often tags other family members (including me) when she does it. Needless to say, we all miss him terribly. My beloved dad died nearly three years ago, leaving behind a heartbroken wife and four daughters. I would love your perspective on navigating a tricky social media situation.
