Comedian Michael Cruz Kayne released a tweet 10 years after the passing of one of his children. His son, Fisher Daniel Kayne was only 34 days old when he died, and as he was born a twin, his twin survived. Finally coming to terms with the grief of the event, Michael tweeted out about his pain and how he now realizes the many emotions that come with grief. He stated, "But grief is a “galaxy of emotions,” including anger and even some things that have made him laugh: “the funeral home handed us a receipt after our son’s funeral that said 'thank you come again’ at the bottom.” Michaels tweet started a whole thread with other people who have had similar experiences as him. He claims, “The best of social media is stuff like this, where somebody shares something that is meaningful and feels purposeful or positive,” he said. “It just feels good to write it and put it someplace. If it’s of service to people, that’s a benefit.” He feels that sharing his experience with others allowed him and others to cope better.
