So what happens when you die?

[Churchill]

So, what happens when we die?

Everything Is Meaningless
1 The words of the Teacher,[a] son of David, king in Jerusalem:
2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!”
says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless.”

3 What do people gain from all their labors
at which they toil under the sun?
4 Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises and the sun sets,
and hurries back to where it rises.
6 The wind blows to the south
and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
ever returning on its course.
7 All streams flow into the sea,
yet the sea is never full.
To the place the streams come from,
there they return again.
8 All things are wearisome,
more than one can say.
The eye never has enough of seeing,
nor the ear its fill of hearing.
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which one can say,
“Look! This is something new”?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
11 No one remembers the former generations,
and even those yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow them.

I was sure there are online services which manage this somehow. It is interesting though - I work remotely from home so if I didn't have the wife to try and piece things together my client might have no way to tell I was gone.

There must be a plan b there for someone to create a virtual funeral service.

Virtual flowers, virtual mourners, virtual tears.


Please don't cry if I die, try to stay strong.

They would not notice a lack of activity?

If not then I applaud you for landing a contract where you have to do no work.

I had a friend/ aquaintance that died during xmas in 2009.

His wife sent out an email when he died but I guess not everyone got it.

His facebook page has not changed status and I can see occasionally that some of his aquaintances still write him happy birthday messages. That is a bit spooky. But it also seems cruel that I tell them on facebooks public wall that he is dead.

He may be dead but his birth-date is still the same. People sometimes use birthdays to remember the deceased.

It is quite obvious from the comments that they do not know he is dead.

I meant when I dropped out of contact they wouldn't know why. How long do you wait before hiring someone else and terminating the contract?

[Bluespider]

Thats quite worrying...

A post along the lines of, 'we need to meet up soon' could be misconstrued as a cry for help

Can we bequeath sockies?
