That's a very good point about communications etiquette being generational. Still, there has to be some common sense regard for others. When my mother died, I was onstage at a comedy club doing a set (she wasn't there, in case you maybe thought I killed her with bad jokes) and had my phone off for the show. Since the dementia facility couldn't reach me right away, the Millennial hospice nurse thought that "your mother has passed away" was an acceptable text to send me to notify me of her death. No. That's like breaking up with a post-it on the bathroom mirror. "I will be late for dinner" is a text. "Your mother is dead" is a phone call. Now, when I tell that to anyone over 40 the response is horrified; under 40 they say "so what happened next?" Doesn't faze them in the slightest.
