Online friends gone missing... you try to get in touch and...nothing. Later, email saying friend died....
People almost always assume another has just left and that's it. But...some people, you just know they wouldn't do that to you and others... Today, I got an email that a missing friend passed away. There are so many people that will feel this and miss him so very much. Try not to take your online friends for granted.

Two of my friends here definitely died.Not a surprise with either. But if someone you chat with regularly decides to leave it is nice to know. I’m fairly certain someone has just left unannounced.And no way of finding out if they are okay. I do take the attitude everyone is going to disappear....it is the Internet.

@TheSirfurryanimalWales Sometimes these things can happen despite the feelings of the other person who may even feel bad and hope that you do not think they just bailed on you. I had someone I was very fond of and we even exchanged Christmas cards. She was [is; I hope she still draws breath] a wonderful person.
It was just one of those things where my decision to leave it a day or a week turned into much longer because then my window closed due to having to move several times. Plus, with old handles/contact details etc forgotten I wonder if I will ever get back in touch with this person. I hope they remember me as fondly as I remember them, because we really opened up. I have one address which I am going to send something to and if she isn't there then she isn't there. I just don't want someone - a true friend - to think that I could have ever bailed on them.
I hope you are able to remain in touch with your friend. It isn't always quite in their hands, unfortunately.
