I mean it's not a fuck up if you didn't know

If anything, the person who sees the message would probably think that you didn't know he passed away.

I feel like the fact that I didn’t know is where I’ve fucked up

Not really

It's a fuck up if you knew he passed away and accidentally messaged him

But all you did was not know he had passed and messaged him

It's normal if you didn't know.

We weren’t that close, but it still sucks I wasn’t aware for 2 years that he has passed away

That's the point

It really wasn't a fuck up. You weren't close so you weren't informed or knew that he passed away.

So don't blame yourself for not knowing.

Not like he could have let you know.

Sorry for your loss though, it's not easy to deal with when a person you knows is just... Gone. Don't beat yourself up about it.

Yeah I know what you mean, but his profile had loads of posts regarding his passing from friends and family. Somehow they never made my timeline

Facebook isn't built to communicate with friends and family. It's built to sell you shit. That's also not on you.

It’s whittled down to a couple now but we also still get a few newsletters

Wow that’s crazy! What do you do with them if you don’t mind me asking?

There’s no return adress to tell them or even a surname so we just put them up with ours lol

Use this as a reminder to scroll through your contacts from time to time and make sure you keep in contact with those that you care about.

Thank you, it was definitely a reminder

Sorry I know I’m being insensitive right now with this comment but I misread message as massage and only ready the title and TLDR first and I got really scared🥶

Similar, I only read the TLDR and thought that the guy who died was the guy who informed OP of his death, like in a message from beyond the grave

Funny that, it still works, but stays on 24% battery the whole time. Not sure what it could mean. I’m not a Christian
