What Happens Here When You Die?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

The camaraderie and relationship building created here on this platform has influenced me into asking this question.
There are some team members, from long ago, that never drop in to visit or check in, based on my observations.
If the person dies, how would the persons team know they had passed? What would you do when your time arrives? Should we partner up here and have one or the other person share the sad news? Thoughts? Suggestions? Answers?

Hmmm... @A myHIVteam Member. I'm going to have to review, because that wasn't my intention. I have an 88yr old partner, and when he is gone, I will be by myself. So, I am currently only seeing that far, but will have to figure out what else I will need not to wind up mummified in my house.

You can let the rest of the team know that person is sick so they know that person is dieing and the team can console the person so he won’t feel along

When my mother died suddenly a few years ago, I had her passwords. I logged into her social media accounts, posted a statement of who I was, and what had happened. I also responded to any personal emails she received. A friend died a couple of years ago. He and previously given us an envelope to open if he died. Along with his will, it had a spreadsheet with his accounts and passwords. Something to consider.
