I feel like the fact that I didn’t know is where I’ve fucked up

Not really
It's a fuck up if you knew he passed away and accidentally messaged him
But all you did was not know he had passed and messaged him
It's normal if you didn't know.
iamrikaka OP t1_j836yfh wrote
We weren’t that close, but it still sucks I wasn’t aware for 2 years that he has passed away
Devittraisedto2 t1_j8373dk wrote
That's the point
It really wasn't a fuck up. You weren't close so you weren't informed or knew that he passed away.
So don't blame yourself for not knowing.

Use this as a reminder to scroll through your contacts from time to time and make sure you keep in contact with those that you care about.

Thank you, it was definitely a reminder

Not like he could have let you know.
Sorry for your loss though, it's not easy to deal with when a person you knows is just... Gone. Don't beat yourself up about it.

Funny that, it still works, but stays on 24% battery the whole time. Not sure what it could mean. I’m not a Christian
iamrikaka OP t1_j838uy7 wrote
Yeah I know what you mean, but his profile had loads of posts regarding his passing from friends and family. Somehow they never made my timeline

Facebook isn't built to communicate with friends and family. It's built to sell you shit. That's also not on you.

Sadly you are right. It did use to be like that

We still get Christmas cards for the person that owned my house before I bought it off my parents , she died 27 years ago

Bloody hell! From one person or multiple people?

It’s whittled down to a couple now but we also still get a few newsletters
iamrikaka OP t1_j83jhiz wrote
Wow that’s crazy! What do you do with them if you don’t mind me asking?
Tobotron t1_j83l6b5 wrote
There’s no return adress to tell them or even a surname so we just put them up with ours lol

Sorry I know I’m being insensitive right now with this comment but I misread message as massage and only ready the title and TLDR first and I got really scared🥶
AcrobaticSource3 t1_j842ky5 wrote
Similar, I only read the TLDR and thought that the guy who died was the guy who informed OP of his death, like in a message from beyond the grave
Devittraisedto2 t1_j836mbe wrote
I mean it's not a fuck up if you didn't know
If anything, the person who sees the message would probably think that you didn't know he passed away.
