Wondering what your take on this is.
Removed by mod
If they had a significant role in my life I’ll leave them and add a yearly calendar event so that hopefully they don’t die the second time, at least while I’m alive.
Same.
I add the ⚱️emoji to their name.
Makes them easy to search for and stop to have a moment of reflection on their effect on my life.
I got confused and then realised it was a cremation urn. Funny how some cultures are different, as in mine Cremation is uncommon and burial is common
That’s a nice idea
Funny how some cultures are different, as in mine this is a horrifyingly normalyzing idea
does it get more normal than death?
I usually leave them. Not really sure why.
Both of my parents are dead. It looks like I deleted one and left one.
I leave them in if it’s someone i care about. I lost a school kid last year. Took his files out of my drawer today.
I have another address book I move them to that is a archive for past contacts. Past work contacts etc… never had to go back to it, but good to know I can. Also don’t have random people I have not contacted in 10 years still on my day to day address book.
I let it stay.
It is weird when someone that uses the number joins signal though… I want to reach out to them because I miss my brother but its a good reminder that life marches on with or without you. And we should let the ones who have left, go.
😥
Huh… I- never considered this question.
My contacts list has been growing for 21 years. Very few people have caused me so much distress that I’d found removing them from my contacts to be worthwhile. I only found out about some of my friends deaths fairly recently.
On reflection, as I currently look through my contacts list I think removing the friends that have since passed would cause me more distress than leaving them in there. I won’t be calling them.
I just keep them, occasionally call the long dead numbers too which is kinda sad but whatever
I let it stay untill I am ready to delete it.
When my grand parents died I kept the entry in my phonebook untill one day some time later when cleaning up the contacts I didn’t see a reason why I should keep it.
My Xbox friend list has a slowly growing number of gamer tags that will never be online again
Climate change will be reversed and billionaires will be abolished before I delete my grandparents contacts from my phone. Every time I pass my grandpa’s, I hear Hello young man, it’s your grandfather. like he said every time we talked on the phone regardless of who called who.
I can understand those who don’t feel the same way.
Keep it if you want, don’t keep it if you don’t.
But never forget the people.
Ahhh I’m one of the dead xBox and PSN friends for many lovely people.
I have everything from the Atari 2699 to the PS3/Wii/360… the ps4 and xBone had terrible performance and loading times so I never got them. Now I just have a bunch of high end computers and no desire to get consoles again. But I did have some sweet friends who might still see my name as “last logged in 12 years ago” or something like that.
Well, I know who is gone permanently and who just moved to pc. Neither will go though
Keep it. I still have my uncle on Steam over 8 years later.
I delete it. For those people, I have more profound ways to contact them.
Being?
Ouija board.
Don’t I wish.
We need to find you a black friend named Carl.
Nightly prayer.
When the idea that we live on in the memories of the people who liked us, means sth to you, I would keep them. Every time you stumble over their entry this memory gets reactivated. I think that is a nice thing.
My grandmother died 40 years ago and she told me, when I was very little, to fold the seems of the coffee filter before you put it in. Everytime I make coffee I think about her because of that.
