She and her bf were supposed to be joining us for Halloween prior to his death. It seemed wrong to be posting ourselves having “fun” (we were all grieving still so fun is a loose term) with our significant others when she just lost hers. We don’t need to remind her that the rest of us still have significant others. Obviously we’re not going to shield her from seeing couples ever again, but considering her bf wasn’t even buried yet, we didn’t want to post. We wanted be sensitive to her during this time.
We’ve adjusted our privacy on private stories and such so that she would not see, but public posts such as instagram, you can’t hide from specific people unless you block.
I know we can’t hide couples from her forever, but I know it must hurt her at the time to see happy couples. So I just wanted to see what people thought was an appropriate time to wait.
