I talk to Gary everyday. Multiple times a day. Wish I could hear his responses. Sometimes I know what he would say, but oh, what I would give to hear his voice again. Wish he didn't hate cell phones so much, I would have sent one to heaven with him.

Yes I talk to Lani everyday, but I get no answers. You are blessed that you do. I tell her I love her and I want her back, but get no answers. Maybe oneday I will.

It's been over 2-1/2 years and I still talk to my husband. Mostly every day, but I get no answers. He did send a message through a coworker and she couldn't wait to share it with me.

I talk to Kristi all the time. But just like Bill1941, I don't get answers but I have found it helps to include her in my thoughts just like I did when she was here physically. There are so many things every day that I would have discussed with her when she got home and for awhile I just kept those all inside because I didn't want to act like a kook or something. In time I came to the realization that I really didn't care what anyone else thought. It made me feel better to continue to share my daily thoughts with my girl. I don't know that she listens, but it sure helps me cope by continuing to share my daily life with her. If you are crazy sister, so am I! (but then I already knew that LOL)

Hang in there.

I talk to Wayne everyday. Sometimes, I hear an answer so clear that I can even quote it...and do in my journal. My counselor, Sr. Liz, suggested an exercise that really helped me, especially in the first 6 months or so. Find a quiet place, take pen and paper and write a conversation between you and your loved one: Such as...
Claire - "Hi Wayne, I miss you so much"
Wayne - "I miss you, too, and you know I did not want to leave you"
Claire - "Can you help me with the following problem -............"
Wayne "Sure, here goes.........."
This is just an example but it has helped me work through some of my fears because Wayne and I talked all the time. Most of the time, he just gave me reassurance that my decision was a sound one and I think that is what this written converstation does.
Try it. And No, you are not insane.

Yes, diamond, I keep a running conversation going with Vern every day. And after our 48 years together, I guess I know him well enough to "hear" what he would say to me in answer. You're far from going insane, kiddo...it's one of those damned natural progressions of grieving. Many times I actually get my answer, whether it's truly coming from him or from that still small voice in the depth of me that has guided me through my life this far. That's just how it is for me...everyone is different (even though we are all the same in an eerie way). Go with it...if it bring you comfort and you hear him, embrace it and don't question. There are so many things we don't understand yet but surely will some day. (((Hugs)))M

Yes, I talk to Arnie everyday at least once. I haven't heard him answer me back but in most situations I could guesds what he would say.
Most of the time I am only telling him about my day, how much I miss him and that I love him very much.....

I talk to Greg all the time. when I ask a question, the answer does pop into my head, so I believe that he does answer me.

I was having a backslide kind of day yesterday, and seem to be teeter tottering alot lately, which I know from this group is pretty normal. I talked to him about again, if I did all that I could, and was it a dream or were we really happy? It's only been 10 and a half months, but sometimes, like now seems forever. I talked about alot ot him last night as a matter of fact.

I received a card today in the mail. It was from a co owrker friend of Greg's from many many years ago. she came to his memorial service. I met her only once. the card she wrote meant the world to me. I never did get to know her. We just never got the chance to know al of Greg's friends. there were so many i met after he passed.

anyway, the card said 'I can't begin to tell you how happy you made Greg, and how thankful I am that he had you in his life. I only wish it could have been longer, as you both were so perfect together. Greg told me so many stories about the two of you, when helping me find a job, and I'm so happy that he finally got it right." I broke down, cried like a newborn, and have been peaceful the rest of the day. He answered my question in the most beautiful way.

they may not always answer in words we can hear like a person speaking, but yes, they talk to us just the same.

Talk to him. He hears you. I believe they all hear us.

Love, and hugs diane

Many times a day, I talk to my Phil. It comforts me, and gives my day some form of "normalcy".
In my heart and soul, I feel certain that he hears me. He does reply, not in words, but,I understand what he is saying to me.

Um, I sure do! I talk to CJ ALL the time (especially when I'm driving)! I look up at the sky and say, hey, are you up there somewhere or are you here in my car? Can you hear me at all? Oh yeah, AND I tell him it sucks that he's dead and I hate it! :)
He doesn't really answer me but I remember his very distinguished voice so clearly still. He's always with me. Always.

I talk to Larry all the time but unfortunately he doesn`t answer me. When ever I make a decision without him I ask him what he thinks...I feel he is with me...guiding me....no you are not crazy my friend...Hugs Lu Ann

I think Roger must be sick of me talking to him so much. I'm always asking his advice, telling him what I'm going to do and I even ask him how he's doing. Crazy??? no not at all, we just love them and miss them.

I talk to John all the time. He was cremated so he is still here in a way. I tell the kids "I talk to the jar". I already know what his relpy would be to anything I say. I think I just need to hear myself actually say it. It is theraputic. Your not going insane.

I talk to Joanne all the time. Just this evening I told her I was making for dinner something she liked. Then I apologized to her for packing up a few of her belongings. Shortly after her passing, I would text her as that was something we did a lot during the day. We do these things because we miss our loved ones dearly and it keeps them close to our heart.

Yes, I do. Sometimes I can hear him in my head. I used to talk to him all the time when I was driving alone. He used to do all the driving, and drove me to and from work and that was our consulting time when we could talk over all kinds of stuff out of earshot of the kids. I still needed to talk it out, so I would talk in the car. At night, before I went to sleep, I would say everything I felt I needed to say to him including "I love you" and "Goodnight" and "put in a good word for the kids", and sometimes I cussed him out.

Over time, I feel pretty much that he is still inside my head and my heart, so I don't need to talk out loud as much to him. But yes, sometimes I still do, even after all this time, especially when I'm worried about our sons.

Love and Hugs, Martha
