I am a caregiver, relative, or spouse of a PatientsLikeMe member who has passed away. What options do I have to manage their profile?
How do I create a profile for someone else?
How do I let other members know I’m a caregiver?
Why do caregivers have profile charts?
We understand losing a loved one is not an easy situation and involves going through what they left behind. For some, this can include a PatientsLikeMe profile. Many members write in asking what to do after the death of a loved one, and how to go about Leaving a Legacy of Data.
If you choose to keep your loved one's account open, please kindly let us know the date of their passing, and we'll update the profile icon with a 'deceased' note to show that the member has passed away.
The other option is to close the account, which you can do here. However, by doing this, it shuts down all correspondence with other community members and restricts any future use of the data on the profile for research.
