I talk to dead people!!

I know exactly what your talking about . I Lost not only my Girlfriend (On resent terms), But My closest friend of the last 12 years to Death just under 3 weeks ago. There is not, more then what seems like 5 or 10 minutes that go by that I am not thinking to myself about her. having One sided conversations with her. Telling her about things that she wanted to see or whatever that she had interest in. Just kinda keeping her updated as to what's going on in my Life and with certain things with her life as if she was still here with me.

To answer your question, No your not insane. this simply shows how much you cared about the person that you lost. With how devastated I am about My Loss, I find that in times when I am hurting the most, I try and remind myself that She would not want me living the rest all sad and hurt by my loss of her. I remind myself that although I need time now to mourn, There will come a time in my life that I need to find that Happiness I had with her. I remind myself that this time will not be coming anytime soon, but it will come with time and she would want that.

If you ever want an ear that will listen and an ear that knows what your going though, feel free to send me a private message

Well, as long as you're not *seeing* and talking to them, I think you're ok. :D If it sounded like a one sided phone conversation:

"Hey, how are you? Me, I'm fine."
"Jane? Oh she's doing well. Yea, she got the poodle out of the tree."
"No, I don't know why she went to Abu Dhabi."
"Will you please stop bringing that up? I keep telling you I thought turkey's could fly! Only a few people were hurt!"

If you were walking down the street talking like that to them, I think then you might want to get some counseling. ;)

Seriously though, I don't see a problem with it. Depending on your views, they might be listening to you (or you hope their listening to you) and it'd be like talking to them if they were still here.

I remember when my mother died when I was twelve. I remember asking, while alone "Why did you leave?" That's not really a conversation, though, but the principle is the same.

oh ok! well I'd say really listen to sweet-surrender, her answer is very good,

"You're just attempting to mend that hole, the emptiness that has filled your heart by talking to them."

Its probably accurate, you aren't used to not having them, so you try to fill the hole.
good luck

ok. It's not unusual to talk to people that aren't there, so long as you remember that it is your imagination that is answering. I wouldn't be too worried, unless they are telling you to do stuff. I'm sure you've heard enough horror movie cliche to know the results of that

i sleep in a bed were someone died and sometimes I feel that, that person is sleeping right next to me just ready to turn around and stare at me we those dark eyes and pale skin with rotten teeth just ready to scream or bite me and I get all energetic and think that it would be so kool if it really did happen!\ lol

wow, that is a little borderline insane yes. I mean, we all have people that we know that have passed away. And it affects us all in different ways. But eventually you need to move on. If they could say anything to you, don't you think they'd tell you that they want you to move on and be happy?

u are no insane I did it when on of my best friend left I know it not the same but it is close hope it helps !

no you are not insane if this helps you deal with there 'absence' then I say talk to them all the time.i mean I talk to my grandma all of the time. she died of breast cancer 3 years ago

your grieving,not insane.take your time with this issue.just don't make too many conversations in public.

I agree with sweet surrender.

sweety I think it is your way of expressing your grief. You're just attempting to mend that hole, the emptiness that has filled your heart by talking to them. However, eventually you will have to learn to adapt to their absence, to accept that they are gone because if you don't you are only harming yourself. Of course your life will not be the same but you must try to go on and live your life to the fullest, the death of your loved ones must make you see that life is vulnerable yet so thrilling to live and experience. make the best of every single moment, move on and let them rest in peace.
