Fantastic inquiry, and what a great list compiled so far.
I have found the below intriguing:

Bryson, J. J. (2012). Internet memory and life after death. Bereavement Care, 31(2), 70-72. doi:10.1080/02682621.2012.710494

Haverinen, A. (2010). Digitized Mourning. Suomen Antropologi: Journal Of The Finnish Anthropological Society, 35(3), 87-89.
 
Finlay, C. J., & Krueger, G. (2011). A Space for Mothers: Grief as Identity Construction on Memorial Websites Created by SIDS Parents. Omega: Journal Of Death & Dying, 63(1), 21-44. doi:10.2190/OM.63.1.b

Swartwood, R. M., Veach, P., Kuhne, J., Hyun Kyung, L., & Kangting, J. (2011). Surviving Grief: An Analysis of the Exchange of Hope in Online Grief Communities. Omega: Journal Of Death & Dying, 63(2), 161-181. doi:10.2190/OM.63.2.d

Additionally, the Pew Internet & American Life Project released a presentation about Online Grief Support Groups in November 2001: www.pewinternet.org/Presentations/2001/Online-Grief-Support-Groups.aspx
