Does anyone else talk to their deceased people often?

Does anyone else talk to their ancestors and passed relatives regularly...?
Maybe it's part of my grief process, but River and I often include my parents, even her dad and uncle in our talks sometimes. Usually it's a side-comment, snark, or a joke one-liner, but we kow they are participating...still here, still connected... ❤

There's times we make a joke and can almost hear my mom's cackle. Or my dad's 'that's what she said..."

Does that make sense? or are we just crazy old ladies?

1. When I'm looking for parking space in the city I live in after awhile I will ask my Late Dad to help me find a parking

Space and will turn a corner and there’s that parking space. A friend of my mine who also knew my Dad said when she’s in our city she’ll ask my father for help also and she finds that parking space also!

My Dad was always lucky finding parking spaces and was the king of parallel parking!

2. I do (talk to friends, family, etc.) who have passed on. Not terribly much, but I find that it relieves my stress and

such, and also, it helps to remember those people who played such an important part in my / our lives.

3. Thanksgiving

I feel my Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother when I make cornbread dressing.

A little more onion
More celery
More sage
A teensy more broth

Just right!

And it always is.😬

5. I talk to my mom during Lawrence.

She died last October at 95, and she'd be so happy now about the Dems and Kamala/Walz. She was a huge FDR Democrat -- her president from when she was 4 until she was 17. I'm so sad she didn't live long enough to vote for Kamala. We talked on the phone 2x a week for most of the last 10 years during TTT's rise (we called him The Tangerine Toddler) and always talked about MSM coverage and especially MSNBC. We would cackle over Lawrence O'Donnell's latest shows. She would have been disgusted with the media treatment of Joe and would have fist-pumped at the TV watching Lawrence's coverage during his "2016 all over again" diatribe, as I did.

My dad died in 1999, but I still talk to him sometimes when I'm driving, especially when I'm stuck behind drivers going the speed limit in the left lane.

8. That's so cool/sweet

My folks would be excited for them too... my dad was a dem all his life, listened to fox a little much before it turned to Tfg channel...he hated him. My mom was just worried about how the rest of us were gonna be after they were gone

I'm glad to tell/show her I'm doing great now...and I hope they are haunting my sister cuz she's a (expletive)

9. Pets especially. I know they are all around me. When I get in bed at night, I often feel some of

the cats I've known and loved kneading the covers and turning around and around and settling up against me before I go off to sleep.

7. I daydream about their lives. Kind of like sagas.

10. Hay I have been a subscribed member on this forum for ...

... almost as long as it has been created. I can tell you that there a few questions you can have that are too "strange" when you come here of all places on DU. If anyone can understand it, it is here.

To be honest, I do not contribute much on this forum, but I come here all the time. It is not because somehow I would not feel comfortable asking or commenting, it is because I do not need to, I usaully find something I needed. I love them all here, they help me keep sane. I am an empath or was, and I had a hard time feeling comfortable anywhere until I foound these folks. Plus they have great links to follow when I need to find stuff or discover something new that I did not know I needed to know, lol. As a child in the '60s nobody knew what was going on with me, I thought I was just ...strange. Because I never lmew what I was until I was in my 50s I never developed it or used it much, so I think now it is no longer in me. But this is OK, I used what I could once I found out.

Just sayin' Love, unless you are a rude skeptic, you know, one of those "intellectuals" who think its "all about the facts, Maam," there is nothing or little else you can ask or comment here that is not understood.

Hope this helps, Cat in Seattle

11. Talking to our loved ones who have crossed over is a beautiful way to honor them.

I talk to my son. Sometimes I feel his presence. It is very comforting.
