this thing called the internet (24)
Sorry to hear of your sad loss Jem. Even though you didn't meet the lady you probably had a good idea of the type of person she was and from her friends.
I am on a private chat site with friends who came from the same place as I did in the UK. I have never met any of these people except one lady, they live in USA, Canada, NZ etc. we are of the same mind and characters and consider each other good friends. My family and day to day life has become interwoven with theirs, we share each others ups and downs.
I met a lady today whose brother was on facebook and put her in touch with a friend from over 20yrs ago in High School - they met up and 2 yrs later are engaged!! She is so happy. The internet can be a great thing.
Chin up.

thanks Newlife
I got to know this lady pre facebook days, when forums and email groups were the way to meet and keep in contact with people with similar interests.
I too have now got contact through facebook with many people I have come to know through the internet, and with people I went to school with that had drifted away many years ago. It is great to have them back in my life.
I also know people who have made successful relationships through the internet as well.
I guess I was just sharing that we can have meaningful contact through the net. That it can change our lives in a positive way, not just be a major timewaster!
jem1964: Today I got a message that a person whom I have never met has passed away.
So why is it that even though I have never met this woman are there tears streaming down my face?
It is because of this wonderful lady I have met many friends through her email group. I have laughed and cried with them, and been inspired by them. She has changed my life in a positive way.
So RIP Anjii, and thank you for making my life a richer and more beautiful thing because of the people I have come to know through you.
And here we all are on a site trying to find friends, and maybe much more, maybe, just maybe, it is possible, the net can influence our lives in a positive way

Sorry to hear your news jem
For anyone who has forged these relationships online, no explanation is needed for the emotional attachments that can and do come out of them.
In a perfect world, we would all get to meet those people who share our values, encourage our hopes and dreams, and give us the emotional support we need sometimes.
Obviously that's not always possible, but that does not take away from the strength and validity of these friendships or your feeling of loss and grief.
It's also a reminder to those who speak of the "real world" and "real life" that it's what is happening, right here, right now, on here, with real people, no matter where they are in the world.
yup internet can inflence our life alottttttt and specially in finding out new people of your choice and mentality.
in this technological age of internet when ur doing ur studies , entertaintment etc etc etc on computers , why not try to get to know people who u cant reach in normal circumstances and who you can discuss ur internal light and dark issues with .
i came to this site 7 days back and i have chatted to very bright and intelligent women and men and i love that because difference of minds and thoughts is the real thing , even by reading a different profile made by some one can get you to self love ur personality.
nice topic

yes it is important to remember that there is a breathing human on the other side of a monitor reading what you are placing on the net. They hurt and bleed the same as you do, they smile and laugh as you do.
I will not be the only one celebrating Anjii's life, her group, which was an extension of her family, is over 500 strong. We will continue in her memory and in her spirit, to celebrate the things in life that we all care about, that brought us together, and will keep us together.

thought it was time for a positive post about the net, as we see so many posts and threads about scammers and bad things about the net
sometimes it helps to also remind ourselves of the richness it can bring into our worlds

Definitely, and I often tell a particular friend that I feel lucky to have him in my life.
Let alone all those that I have had the opportunity to meet

workers in aged care become some what immune to death and old friends passing as they are so frequent that to involve your emotions with every death could cause you much more grief than necessary. For sure we develop relationships with people we never had a regular relationship with, how is it people can wish the ex partners harm, but still shed a tear when it does befall them?
Emotions are a strange beast we have no control over, however we can choose to block certain events off to protect our wellbeing and stay sane enough to go on when all seems so sad and unfortunate for those we love, have loved or even never loved like a baby in a car accident or family orphaned by a stupid medical mistake.

I can relate to that. being on the internet since 94, had to say goodbye to few friends over time. Do people matter who you never met? of course they do their interaction is sorely missed.So why is it that even though I have never met this woman are there tears streaming down my face?
