Why do people post endless social media statuses when someone dies?
I've noticed that a lot of people my age tend to continually post statuses about people they
know who died. Sometimes even months after they died!
Why do they do this? Are they looking for a little attention? Are they trying to milk it, hoping to get gifts or money out of it? When people in my family died, I didn't even make one status. That's my own business, not the whole worlds.
Why do they do this?

Yes this generation is pathetic. I mean what are they trying to achieve from constantly posting it. Attention? Sympathy? Likes? Your absolutely right I mean who would even bother, if it was my family I wouldn't dare, it's got nothing to do with anyone.

I don't know if it's endless. I mean at some point some one won't give a s hit and the post will get no attention

It's their way to deal with their grief.
Who are you to judge how they're handling their grief? People could also say your lack of mentioning it makes you unemotional and/or heartless.
I see mostly people under 30 doing this so it's the "feel sorry for me" generation or just plain lack of maturity.
Though having lost a parent young, it's not an easy task to just move on like people seem to think.
