After they have gone.....

..,...do you still celebrate someones birth date after they have passed away?

Or do you mourn them on the date they have passed away?

No, because they cease to have birthdays. Finito.

I may happen to notice it or acknowledge it in my mind (if I remember it) on that specific day, but that is it.

@Magenta Do you mourn the future on the date they have passed away?

@SledgeHammer Not sure I understand. You mean that they no longer will have a future?

@Magenta no no... I mean on the date they passed away...in the upcoming future of that date... Do you mourn again. The opposite of a birth day..

(I dont know how to explain it)

@SledgeHammer Hmm. I don't keep track of when people have died. Occasionally I may remember or sometimes I will know because I make a conscious effort to look it up. I think my answer is no?

@Magenta They only ever have one birthday not a case of no more birthdays when they die.
