Someone close to me died. What do you think of people sending condolences on a WhatsApp group?

I think it's lazy and impersonal but perhaps this is the way these things are done now?

Forgot to say, sorry for your loss.

I think a private message is more appropriate than a group one for things like that.

In group conversations it was bound to happen anyway.

I think it depends on what’s normal. I’ve had texts, emails and WhatsApp messages before. It’s the sentiment not the medium that matters to me.

Depends on your relationship with (a) the deceased and (b) the person sending condolences.

I'm sorry for your loss. But if it were say for example my mother that died and my old boss sent me a whatsapp I'd thank him. If it were my husband then I'd be going nuclear.
