The Top Post have a rather sad note this week. The death of Robin Williams and Lauren Bacalls shocked many people, and if such feelings are easy to make out anywhere then it’s on Social Media platforms. Twenty-five contributions ended up being successful, overshadowing anything else that happened in the last 7 days.
It is with great sadness that we say good bye to the talent of the one and only Robin Williams. There will never be another like him.

But how do you actually share your condolences on Facebook? It’s obvious that a thumbs-up doesn’t stand for “liking” the news, but rather for the fact that a person shares your feeling.
How do I properly share condolences on Facebook?
Is it even appropriate to share these sort of feelings on Facebook? Well, doing so in person is obviously favorable. Still, expressing them via Social Media shows your compassion pretty well and might sometimes be better because it’s less stressful for the bereaved.
A few simple rules are:
- Never be the one to announce it. Sharing your feelings with people is alright, but wait with doing so until the situation has been confirmed and acknowledge by the people closest to the deceased.
- Depending on your relationship towards the person you need to react appropriately. A simple wall post is enough if you barely know the person who just suffered a loss. But if the two of you are closer you should at least write a private message or an email, not just a publicly visible comment.
- Facebook should only be used to express condolences. Discussing the circumstances of a death should happen in private.
- Try to avoid mentioning any religious beliefs unless you’re sure that the person you are talking to shares your sentiments.

This picture of Robin Williams was taken less than two months ago when the actor showed up at a Lindstrom, Minnesota Dairy Queen. At the time, his rep said he was spending a few weeks at the Hazelden Addiction Treatment Center.

Dear Robin Williams. As of today, I will never get to tell you Thank You. It was on my bucket list, but it will have to be in another lifetime, in another place. I wanted to thank you for Dead Poet’s Society, because it helped me make sense of life and death and relationships in my teenage years, and helped me find a way forward in the wake of my brothers death when I was 17. I understood “Ca…

Robin Williams is gone. Yet another whose gregarious social face did not reflect his inner world. We lose so many people everyday to unresolved pain that overwhelms their consciousness. Few are well-known. Most live anonymous lives. We must prioritize authentic revealing and emotional release in our world. We must slow down to see each other deeply and to share our inner worlds so that no one f…

“To those he touched who are sending kind words, know that one of his favorite things in the world was to make you all laugh. As for those who are sending negativity, know that some small, giggling part of him is sending a flock of pigeons to your house to poop on your car. Right after you’ve had it washed. After all, he loved to laugh too.”
