It's part of all of our cultures. Remembering those who have finished this life. Each culture has a way of remembering. In Second Life, we meet new friends and we spend amazing amounts of time with them. Some of our SL friends become as close as family to us. Sadly, sometimes we loose them. How do we mourn them, how do we remember them. How does our Real World culture influence how and what we want to do.
Another question. Can we mourn our real world losses in SL, and find healing? Can we find a place to memorialize our real life loved ones in this virtual world and then find comfort in that?
Your quest is to find the place. I will not be giving you a slurl or landmark. I will give you a clue. Look for the garden where you can find remembrance. When you find this lovely place, spend some quiet time. Read the memorials. Enjoy the serenity of the place.

A lovely post, very elegantly put. A SL place of rememberance has proved very significant over months.
In a fragmented world, the garden offers a place you can always find and think about those loved ones.
In a networked world, the garden offers a place for share memories and thoughts with other friends.
I can't think of anything much more to say than that. Annie
