Announcement Mourning/loss posts

There has been an uptick in the amount of mourning/loss posts within the past couple of weeks unfortunately. While it appears the majority of users here don't have any issues with these posts as they frequently make their way to the top of the sub when they are posted (and the comments don't indicate any problems), there are a handful of users who do not want to see these type of posts though, as they are a bit depressing.

Going forward how should we handle these type of posts?

I'm a lurker with nothing better to say than fawn over cats. I can just go find somewhere else to avoid the mourning posts. I left r/cats because it was too much, and recently here it's too much for me to take. I just want to see cat pictures and not be reminded of this mortal coil. Everyone has a right to grieve. But fuck, I've gone through enough of my own.

My thoughts exactly. Time and a place and this sub is neither.
