You say it’s a horrible way to learn that this is a thing, but I actually find it weirdly sweet how when someone dies, people who care about the deceased or their work jump to share stories of how they had been impacted. It reminds me of birthdays; I have friends who I don’t speak to much, but their birthday prompts me to reach out and say “hey! I’m glad you exist”
