If you have forgotten someone who has died, does it bother you if people also forget you?

Asked by colliedog (922points) December 13th, 2009

People die, we grieve, and then we forget.

We die, our loved ones grieve and then they forget—does this bother you more?

I do not forget those in my life who who went to the other side of life….

I keep them alive in my heart, soul, and mind….. all of the time .

However; IF anyone wishes to forget me; that is their decesion and does not bother me a bit .

I never forget the ones I have grieved for.
If it makes life easier for my loved ones to forget me, then so be it. I wouldn’t want to be a burden on them.

No @GeneH – The old AB is dead so you upgraded :) It is all good!

I would miss them- but I would not expect them to miss me or care if they forgot me.

@GeneH Yes, Fluther is Q&A heaven. Welcome! ;D

It doesn’t bother me that people are going to forget me. Life is too important to spend it grieving.

When I’m dead, I won’t know if they remembered me or not. It’s not an issue on my list of things to worry about.

I do not forget the people who have been a part of my life. I would prefer that people forget about me when I am gone.

I don’t forget people who make an impact in my life. Everyone else qualifies as vapor in the wind. By this same logic, if I am forgotten, I didn’t make enough of an impact and assume the mist.Can’t complain, it was my fault.
