Memories can influence a person and shape them into who they become later in life. When a person loses someone important in their life, they cope with those feelings in different ways.

Currie Jr. gives us two examples of how people cope with the loss of a loved one.

The two main characters Conrad and Calvin move from stages of grief to stages of healing by recognizing why their grieving.
Critics often speculate whether the loss of a loved one of the loss of one’s self has a more decimating effect on a person. Commonly, The Catcher in the Rye, The Bell Jar, and The Yellow Wallpaper, by J. D. Salinger, Sylvia Plath, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman are used as examples to support either side of the debate. While each text is able to support both sides, the one that truly shines through in each source is the idea that loss of one’s self is more detrimental to someone than the loss of their loved ones. In each piece of writing, the reader is able to watch each character mentally deteriorate and attempt to reclaim themselves, or, lose themselves entirely in the process. Some of the mental decline can be attributed to the loss of a loved one, but because it led to the character losing themself, it should be considered a more harmful situation to be placed in.

Ultimately her desperation illuminates the fact that the fear of the consequential grieving and sorrow is more present than the fear of losing.
I assume that the reason parents try and grieve with the loss of a child by virtual memorials is because virtual memorials shift death and bereavement from the private sphere of family and local community into the public largely unregulated spaces of the Internet. It is in human nature to want attention even if it is not from people you know. We are hardwired to give and help we just all change because of how we are treated; but at the end of the day everyone helps the person dealing with death. Another assumption is that people dealing with grief and bereavement should not use efforts of technology to help the pain but should use more of the traditional methods for help.
