Is Talking to my Dead Loved One Normal?

A frequent question bereaved people ask me is this... “Is it normal to talk to my dead loved one?”
In this video, I talk about this subject and how it is not a weird, crazy or a “stuck in denial” thing to do.
In fact, it can facilitate healthy grieving and an enduring relationship with your loved one.
Keeping the love and bond alive in life going forward… ❤️

    Never stop talking to my husband it helps me clear my thoughts and carry on with the daily chores, and when i ask his advice the answer will pop into my head.

    Day 83. My man was my balance. My best. My gift. My everything. We were ALL IN. I cry any time of day or night. Yet, I hear him telling me to stay the course, stick with the plan. I see him looking in my eyes and saying I love you.

    I miss my beloved husband so so much. I miss his texts, his calls, his voice, his love. Yes l talk to him out loud everyday and write to him. It brings me comfort. It keeps him close in my heart. I had so much more left that l wanted to say to him. I had so much more love to give. I am so glad that l have found your video. You understand grief and how a broken heart feels. Your words are a comfort to me.... 😢💔My broken heart will always cry for the man l love, and will cherish forever... My RAY was so kind and gentle, he was the best thing that ever happened to me. How l miss him..... 💔

    What a wonderful video! You described my present life perfectly. Every time I leave the house, I tell Rosie where I'm going, and I usually ask her to ride along with me. (Silly, I know). When I come home, I say, "I'm home." and if anything unusual happened I tell her about it. So, I'm so happy to hear what you said about it being normal and healthy. AND, if I ask her a question, I can sometimes hear her answer in my head. And it's always in her normal voice. Thank you so much for sharing this video. It was exactly what I needed to hear today.

    Lost my wife on Sept 18th to many years of MS and 2 years with Cancer. We dated for 4 years, and were married for 46 years. We were a perfect match from the beginning. I thought I was handling her loss because We knew it was inevitable, but her absence so terribly painful. She had increasing disability for the last nearly 10 years and over the final 6 months began to have difficulty talking, especially in the final months. I did everything I could to make her happy and comfortable. I talk to her every day as I go about my chores, or driving somewhere. I tell her what is happening with me and our Sons, Daughter-in-law and Grandson...but mostly I tell her that I MISS HER so very much. I have listened to a variety of these Grief videos...sometimes I think I am doing ok...but then I realize that I'm not. I loved her so much and miss her more.

    This is the second video of yours that I have watched, as I just found you tonight. You came up in my feed on you tube. I listen to you, and say yes, that is exactly how I feel. More so than anyone else I have watched, so thank you! I do smell Don's pillow, but not for his after shave. I can sometimes get the scent of him on that pillow. I loved his scent. When he passed, I didn't change that pillow case for months. And when I had to change my cell phone, they said they wouldn't be able to save the voice mails. I had 2 of his vm that I had saved for quite a while, so I had my neighbor copy them to her phone, then email it to my computer. So now I have them saved on my computer and can play them now and then. To hear his voice is everything to me. I talk to him often and say goodnight the same way we used to do. Probably would look crazy to most people, but I don't care. I miss him so much, and these things make him feel close. It will be 3 years this January, and I'm still doing these things. We were married for 30 years, and I'm 75 now, and still feel very married to him. I miss his presence, and these things make him feel more present. With no family, and we did everything together, it is very lonely now. I'm so glad that I found your channel. Subscribed after the first video. Thank you.

Sending love ❤️ sorry for your loss

    I talk to my beautiful Husband of almost 39 years married all through the day and night I tell my Husband we are still married....just different now. Our love keeps us connected until its my time to join him. I also have no family so every milestone has been gone through by myself. I miss my Husband every second of the day. I generally dont listen to grief councilors as i do what ever feels better for me. So i will continue to talk to my Husband until we are together again.

    I talk to my son all the time , only way i can keep sane - my heart is broken , my family all fell apart and his brother disowned me 3 years ago - and all December really hard to cope with. Everyone says move forward with life. Now I think he is lucky. Only solace is that every day I live, I'm one day closer to my own death. Sad that I now think like this.

    I am not religious but more spiritual and I have seen a medium when my mom passed away in 2016 and it was so healing. He had my mom no doubt. I found so much peace knowing she is always by my side. I am going to see the same medium for my husband, so I can find more peace. I am talking to him because I know he is there🙏🏽

    I learn so much from your videos. So important for people to feel "OK" talking to their loved ones and understand what a normal part of grief this is. After my son died, I talked to him constantly. I really felt his presence with me. As the years have passed, I only talk to him now from time to time, but it's still important to me to tell him things in our and his sibling's lives. Thank you for your wonderful and informative videos.
