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?

(465 posts)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.

(2,567 posts)... 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
