People die and I'm sorry (except in cases like Saddam Hussein or Hitler), but I don't beat my breast nor weep buckets nor express my grief on social media and nor should you.

The practice of journalists telling us how we should or shouldn't feel has become insufferable...

Personally, I don't take to social media to post about celebrity deaths. None of them have affected me to a degree where I have felt it necessary. Sure, it's sad to hear when an actor or a singer has died that you liked, but I have never felt that strongly because I didn't know them personally of course.
However, I am not going to oppose people that feel the need to post their thoughts about celebrity deaths on social media. Leave them to it. If you don't like it, just ignore it. Because at the end of the day, is it really affecting you that much to see people doing it?

Why does it matter to you how someone express another death? If a person really enjoyed them that much let em. Thats the thing here at gs, Some people think that everything they say is the truth when it fact its fair from it. Learn to do you and let others do themselves

I remember, when Donna Summer died, someone posted on another forum about how upset they were and how much they loved 'I Will Survive'.

Isn't this (almost) the same thing I've been saying here all this time?
And sort of got shunned for it?
I find it interesting the differing responses to the topic when it's you saying it, especially when cosidering that your opinion was slightly different back then.
Also, I wouldn't give Hussein or Hitler celebrity status lol

Think of it as nothing more than a public acknowledgement. Why it gotta be anything else?
No different than congratulatory threads for 100th/1,000,000th post.

Are people actually mourning the celebrity that died, or are they simply mourning a 'time period' in their own life that they feel has now passed?

Public grieving over dead celebrities has reached insufferable levels
