Do not text me that someone just died!
My family did this to me several months ago, even though it was an expected death, something felt so cold and impersonal about " Uncle died today".
There is certain news that SHOULD NOT be broken to somebody by TEXTING THEM and a sample list includes the following (feel free to add)
1. Somebody Dying
2. Telling CLOSE people (like your huband) your pregnant
3. Breaking up with someone - You need to get a backbone if you have to breakup with someone by texting them....
4. Firing someone - Again, backbone... put on your big girl panties and deal with it.
5. Telling your spouse/parents anything significant - eg, lost job, got in car accident, got ticket, kid failing school, house burned down, etc.
Technology is not something that empowers us to avoid emotions by avoiding confrontation. Can you imagine a funeral where the Eulogy is delivered by text? OR a wedding ... "I DO"....
