Oh Look Everybody, A Man Dying !

IMHO Social Media plumbs new depths, under the guise of sentimentality.

Bit what do you think - poor taste, or comforting image ?

I like & have no objection to the picture, it's obviously something that has given some measure of happiness to Norbert & his family.

I'll be lucky (not sure if that's the right word) to have one person to say goodbye with/to. I envy Norbert, he went in (his) style.

seems very touching to me canary, what is your objection? did you read the article?

[youngmafbog]

Can't see a problem, so long as all concerned are ok with it why should I cast judgement?

I would be horrified if anyone photographed me on my deathbed. Hopefully my family know me well enough to never post a photo of such a private moment online.

To be honest, I think it's beautiful and I envy them that he was lucid almost to the end. I wish my parents had been more aware and we had had more talks and reminisced, but sadly it didn't work out like that. I was too afraid to say Goodbye. I think this family got it spot on and like I said, I envy them ..

All I’ve said to my family is, make sure I have my teeth in if you want to visit me at the Chapel of Rest. Oh, and my lipstick on. :))
