I hate the way the digital haunts us with the dead. Still thinking about the way my first boyfriend’s blogs lived on for years after his suicide, or the way that today Telegram told me a deceased relative had just joined (presumably b/c someone who now has their phone number did).

With regard to the blogs, eventually they disappeared, and Doug died a second digital death—six or seven years after his actual death.
