Yes, if it makes me feel better I do it. No harm in that.

At the very least you must admit they return to dust, so in one way or another they ARE still with us. Sgtar15 |

It depends on what you mean by 'talk to'. If you mean busting out the Ouija board and having a seance, then no.
But I do talk to my father every day, and it gives me comfort. There is no grave for me to go to, so I just talk to him like I'm having a normal conversation with someone. If people think I'm crazy, then fine. I don't care. Personally, I think I'd go crazy if I didn't do it.

I dont think anyone would call you crazy, if it helps you, then by all means do it. As for me I dont, I figure hey my grandma is dead, she is gone, as much as I hat ethat, there really aint much she can do to help me these days. Same with my best friend who died in 03, great guy, but he is gone, as much as I hate it, nothing I can do about it. |

despite death, those who we've known live on in our memories. They are a part of us no matter how we try to deny it. I think it is a normal thing to do .

I believe they are with us, whether through heredity / genetics, imprinting / mannerisms and of course, the thought of, through memories. They are only as far as we allow them get go. |

I am going to visit my cousins gravesite soon. When I do, I will sit for a while, have a beer or two, and talk out loud to him. I know he will hear me.
I guess I don't really worry about what others may think about it

Do you mean talking out loud as if you were talking to someone with ears?
I figure if you could communicate with someone that is dead verbalizing your words wouldn't make any difference... I would figure you could communicate with your thoughts. |

Fortunately, at this time very few people who have been that close to me have died. So there's no need.
Three of my grandparents died before I was 12. The last, well, grandma died at my parent's house back in 2000, of alzheimer's. I think of her on occasion, remembering all the good times that I and the family had at her farm in the summers in north Alabama, but I don't talk to her now. Both my parents and all my close family are still with us. No need there, either. But, WOULD I? Yes, I would. Heck, I talk to myself, a lot, when i'm in the car (it helps me organize my thoughts like nothing else can) so why not talk to someone else who isn't visible? I think that the spirits of those gone before us are quite capable of hearing us, or at least sensing our thoughts when we're in the right state of mind. And sometimes, I think we can hear them, too, but faintly. I also think that some manifestations of ghosts are real, though I have never experienced one. CJ |

Big phone with heavenly beam of light shining down rings. St. Peter answers it... Yes sir? Oh, just a moment.. (hands over the phone) Jerome, it's for you....  WTF? If that's what you believe, man, it's your bag. Personally, I could swear I'll hear my Dad's laugh when I catch myself screwin' up (just before I pull a real D'OH!  ).I'll talk to him occasionally, 'cuz I know he's watchin' from somewhere.
