“…Facebook has become a helpful platform that fulfills various functions in the bereavement and grieving processes. It becomes a means of communication, a channel for emotional expression, a source of information about social life, a space for ritualization, a social setting for the new digital performativity, and a tool for seeking social support (Marin-Cortes et al, 2022). Marin-Cortes et al (2022) stated that social media platforms are environments, not simply technologies people use.…”

Marin-Cortes et al (2022) stated that social media platforms are environments, not simply technologies people use. Hence, on social media platforms, it is not uncommon to find users with posts, tweets, or statuses such as "we will miss you" and "watch over us" (Williams and Merten, 2009).…”

“…They are maintaining a relationship they had prior to death. Serrano-Puche (cited in Marin-Cortes et al, 2022) points out that the internet is a channel for communicating emotions and a technology that helps shape and amplify them. This means Facebook is not just a platform for entertainment and socialization but a space allowing connectivity and togetherness.…”

Bereavement is something that we experience in one way or another. It involves many steps from one culture to the other. Many scholars have documented the role of social media tools in bereavement processes. In this study, I look at the challenges and opportunities offered by Facebook during bereavement, especially in a community that is still traditional and has yet to fully comprehend the importance of social media, particularly in matters considered sacred. The study used interviews with residents from Taung to collect data. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the collected data from the interviews. The study findings indicate some challenges associated with bereavement on Facebook: emotional shock, lack of sensitivity, misinformation, and cultural dilution. There are also opportunities: fast news sharing, ongoing emotional support, and sharing of memories. The study argues that the findings should expand our understanding and knowledge of bereavement in some African cultures and use social media tools to complement and not destroy African beliefs and practices.

“…Also, people manage to build relationships with other users who have gone through similar disturbing situations. In general, those who are grieving recognize that they find support and understanding in social networks that they do not find in other social spaces (Marín-Cortés et al, 2022;Moore et al, 2019).…”

This research aims to analyze the interactions related to the identification and validation of grief in Facebook groups whose purpose is to give support to those who are grieving. A qualitative content analysis of 1,816 comments in three Facebook groups on mourning, published between February 23 and March 23, 2020, was conducted. The comments were grouped into 456 digital interactions between group members, from which the analytic categories “identification with other‘s grief” and “validation of other‘s grief“ were constructed. Among the results of the research, it was found that identification with grief among users of the social network is a recurrent type of emotional support. Identification generates the perception that one‘s own emotional experiences related to grief are shared with others. Validation of grief is another form of support, as it invites users to express their emotions and recognize the grief involved in the mourning process. These two processes, identification and, validation, are at the core of the guidance that users are offered to mitigate their grief. Online groups provide an opportunity for people going through similar experiences of grief to find shared expressions of identification with and validation of their grief, which are fundamental processes of social support.

“…Expressions of the heart, expressions of emotion, or expressions of opinion are often things that are often found on social media (Aisyah et al, 2022;Hamzah & Putri, 2020;Mustaffa et al, 2018). In many cases, this is often seen as a form of catharsis that is useful for individual mental health (Gondwe & Some, 2020;Marin-Cortes et al, 2022).…”

Social anxiety can occur online when individuals use social media. Several factors that are thought to influence social anxiety using social media are self-esteem and demographic factors such as age, gender, and duration of social media use. The aim of this research is to measure empirically whether these variables are determinants of social anxiety using social media. The participants of this research are 164 active social media users who live in the Jakarta Greater Area. The social anxiety scale for social media users and the self-esteem scale are used as research instruments. The data analysis technique used is regression to measure the role of self-esteem on social anxiety using social media. Meanwhile, correlation tests and difference tests were carried out to determine the position of demographic variables in relation to social anxiety using social media. The research results show that age has a significant negative correlation, while the duration of social media use has a significant positive correlation with social anxiety using social media. On the other hand, self-esteem is proven to have an influence on all aspects of social anxiety using social media. The strongest effect appears on interaction anxiety, and the weakest effect appears on privacy content anxiety. The research results also showed that female participants had higher social anxiety using social media than male participants.
