Survey on Virtual Grief

Yesterday I received a note card from my friend Kandinsky Beaumont and from the "Remembering Our Friends" group in SecondLife that I would ,like to share with you.

"Have you ever created a memorial page or a group in the Internet?

Have you ever attended a virtual memorial service, commemorations or a wake in a game?

Has a close family member or a friend deceased lately and you would like to share your thoughts about mourning, memorialization and honoring the memory of the deceased?

I am a Finnish doctoral student from the University of Turku, Digital culture, and my doctoral thesis is about digitalization of death and mourning rituals in virtual environments (more about me: http://bittiavaruuteen.wordpress.com/in-english/).

I am looking for people to fill out a short 10 question survey and/or join me for an interview either in Second Life or through e-mail. Please fill out your e-mail or SL-name in the questionnaire form, if you would like to be contacted later.


I am grateful for all help possible in my study! Please pass on this message to anyone it might interest.

With kind regards,
Morita Hoxley a.k.a. Anna Haverinen"
