💨 Abstract

In February 2025, the narrator received a text message from her cousin informing her of his mother's sudden death. The narrator, devastated, wished for a more personal means of communication, finding text messages impersonal for such significant news. This feeling was echoed when she learned of her grandmother's and father-in-law's deaths via text. She reflects on the importance of personal contact during difficult times, emphasizing the significance of delivering bad news in person or via a phone call.
