Hello all - in particular Cheryl.
I have completed my research and would like to thank you for helping to complete my Investigation onto online mourning and memorialisation. This information - your personal reflections on your husband - helped me form ideas and themes for modern grieving rituals that could potentially lead towards more research on the subject. I know your particular methods for dealing with grief did not particularly rely on technology as such, but the fact that you participate at HOV - and contribute to others in their quest through bereavement is reflective of the kinds of behavior and ritual once unavailable. This was the central theme of my research - the fact that the Internet forms a part of larger digital community of mourners - and that these communities are in a sense enfranchised, or united in some cases where their real-life communities have failed them. So, Thank you Cheryl and Thank you Marty. I wish you all the very best and commend what you do for people and each other.
Warm Regards
Daniel
