Talking to the dead..

I decided to go to the cemetery this morning with some flowers for mum's birthday which is on Monday.
I found myself talking to her without realising I was doing it... Good thing I was alone there!!

Does anybody else talk to the dead I wonder?

Mainly from the neck up I do, other than that,.. no not really !,.. but I guess it was nice to be alone, and speaking your thoughts out loud to your mom in a quiet moment,.. who cares what others may think,.... go for it gal xx

I'll talk to anyone who'll listen, dead or not!

I"m the same Carol, when go and lay flowers on my Parents graves, I always hello to them, think it is a nice thing to do, don"t suppose they can hear though!

Yes we do the rounds of the crematorium, local church yard and common, I chat to nan, grandad, tasha, my mil and my babies. May sound morbid but I sort a lot of my problems out talking them through with them.

Sometimes I even have a laugh with them telling them what's been going on, its a wonder I've never been taken away by men in white coats thinking about that

My Mum passed away 23 years today and I said "Thinking of you Mum" in my mind .... not out loud though.

When I go the cemetery where my parents are, I talk to them, and I see/hear other people doing the same, so don't worry Carol, lots of us do the same. If not out loud, we do it mentally.

I wondered what you were doing for a moment.. No I dont talk to the dead..

But I think what youre doing is normal and theres no harm in it.

What I dont like is the whole doris stokes type thing, a rip off of vunerable people..

Re: Talking to the dead..

I have done it occasionally, but usually at home. I think people want to share things with their passed,loved ones, maybe it helps to give them confidence in their important decisions.
Putting something into words, to somebody you always trusted, may not bring any answer..... but it often makes you more confident in your decision.
