Have you ever talked to your dead relatives or friends?

Often say words out loud to my boy, Logan. I try to share the jokes he taught me when I remember them. I haven’t visited his gravesite though. That’s not really something I do.

Not to dead family, I was ready for them all to be dead. haha

I lost a brilliant artist/writing buddy of mine that died suddenly of a heart attack in March. He was only 50. :-(

For a few months I’d catch myself thinking… ” Oooh, I HAVE to share this with Kirk..” and then, I’d remember, “Oh yeah, he’s dead!”

Then I’d go on to say, out loud ” this is for you Kirk!”

I Talk to my dog who died last year. I miss her being on my 6 keeping an eye on things and our walks. I have a bench to sit at her grave and sometimes call my pup her name by mistake. They look a lot like.

I have never been inside a graveyard… yet.
I have talked to my gran though, as if she was in the same room, listening to me.

@Coloma I feel you on that. I called my mother every day, and even though she died in October 2010 I still have to stop myself from reaching for my phone to call.

I have yes. Even though at a conscious level I know they are gone, sometimes I have had little conversations with my dad (even if it’s in my own head). I remember being really, really sick a few years ago and maybe I was hallucinating but I felt like he was right there with me. Sitting on the bed. Weird feeling but it was incredibly strong. It made me cry.

My later grandfather I never met until my near death experience and after she passed my grandmother phoned my powered down cell phone.

Wow@cruiser.

When I go to the cemetery by myself, yes, I do talk to my parents out loud. When my husband is there – which is pretty rare – I just think all the stuff that I would say.

I’ve addressed my father in absentia three or four times in 28 years. I really believe he is nowhere and his remains are beneath a stone in Nova Scotia; I’m speaking to the father in my head. I’ve never been back to the gravesite.

My father died suddenly a few years ago, and he didn’t leave a forwarding address. And you know, I haven’t had a card, a phone call, or even some flowers from him since! What gives, Dad?

@Bellatrix It was freaky and I have my sons as witnesses where my youngest asked me how their GG was doing in heaven and my cell phone powered up and there was this spooky static on the other end!! I wish I had caller ID back then that would have been a trip!

@Cruiser

Collect call from Heaven? ;-)

@Bellatrix Now that would have been weird had an operator said would you accept the charges for a call from your Grandma in heaven?? I might have to think that one over knowing the costs for a call overseas let alone heaven!! I imagine that call would not be cheap! lol!

In my dreams, every night I thank them for imparting there lessons in life.
They taught me to be a stronger person.
