    Facebook, that repository of the mundane (mealtime updates, party reminders and job changes)
    that people have long used to show the positive sides of their lives, is increasingly also a place
    they go to break difficult news. It was where the racecar driver Danica Patrick, 30, announced that
    she and her husband of seven years, Paul Hospenthal, 47, were "amicably" divorcing. And it is
    where a portrait photographer and mother of two named Alicia, 35 (who did not want her last name
    published because of continuing custody issues), posted a few succinct sentences about the
    breakup of her own marriage recently. People in her social circle were starting to hear rumors
    about her personal life, she said, and she wanted to address that. "I didn't want to start a pity party,
    but I did want to be honest about what was going on," Alicia said, adding that "One of the beautiful
    things about Facebook is that it's passive communication, and it gives people freedom to respond
    — or not — in whichever way they are most comfortable."

    Posting bad news on a social media site eases the pain for the bearer of bad news and the
    recipient, because knowing what to say to someone who has just told you bad news can be one of
    the most socially fraught situations. "If you put the news on Facebook, you're also maximizing the
    recipient's comfort, so they can process the information on their own time," said Dr. Janet
    Sternberg, assistant professor of communication and media studies at Fordham University. "It's
    really hard to break bad news without crying or falling apart. But we can share painful news in
    less painful ways." Dr. Louis Manza, a professor and chairman of the psychology department at
    Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania, said: "From a cognitive perspective, it's easier to deal
    with it this way. You post it, come back in eight hours and read all the comments that you get, and
    don't have to worry about having a difficult conversation."
