Their may be a lot of resentment and regret when a loved ones suddenly die without
even a premonition when you never ever have given a chance to have a last talk with
your dearly departed when she/he still alive. Then, before you know to make her/his
feel your loved for him/her it is already too late and you realize you got no chance
to make her/his feel valuables. Then, some grieving people find themselves alone,
really feel sentimental over the departed beloved loss. It may sounds crazy but it is the way a to express feeling over something that mean so much that they speak or imagine this departed beloved is still present.
Have you ever seen person talk to a dead photos or talk to the cemetery when visiting a loved one cemetery/memorial?
Do you ever encounter a scene like this or it already happen to you? By way of talking to a departed photos you are able to release your deep emotions which you fail to express when this beloved departed is still alive? Have you done this? Kindly share your thoughts?

I talk to my hubbys pic all the time! adn I feel his presents with me sometimes and I talk to him then . I see nothing wrong with this.
BUt it isnt cause we hadnt said all the things we could have said for we had.
Just Wished he could have been cured or that they had got to the cancer sooner than they did.

I am deeply sorry for your loss of your beloved husband. Their are many if but it does not mean that holding on to talk to pictures is a paranoia things, but it is normal for a loving person to show how dearly departed beloved are deeply remember. They may be gone in bodily presence but in spirituality presence they stay to remain in your heart and mind.

This is an honest expression of deep feeling for our dearly departed gone but not totally forgotten.

I loved my mum, I really did, but I have had some anger towards her at times, and yes I have spoken to the air as though she is in front of me. She never listened to me in real life anyway.

Just being true to oneself is the best way to say what ones feel whether were speaking about the dearly departed or with the living person is still the best way to retain those attitudes. thanks for your responses. have a nice day!

I caught my seven year old talking to a photo of her grandmother who passed away late last year. I thought it was rather nice actually. I don’t do talk to a picture as such but I will talk to the departed’s soul in my head sometimes; I feel the spirit is still around and that the person can hear me. I am not comfortable talking to a picture though, it was cute seeing my little daughter doing it but I find it a bit creepy myself!

I think it is ok to talk to photos of your deceased loved ones. It's all we have left of them and sometimes you just have to say stuff to them. I think going to the cemetary and visiting the grave and talking is good. It is a good way to remember them. It is very hard when they are gone and missing them never goes away though we do get better at handling our sadness as time passes.

Yeah, it is a normal things to do it we do it in a reverence and in silence solemn ways just like whispering a prayer and telling of thoughts imagining they are still around hearing us even bodily absences but think they listen too..It is one way to lessen sadness from loss and a way to gives respect to their memories

I have never done that and I don't think I will ever do that. I am very scared to do all those kind of stuff. I have seen many times people talking to god. I mean talking loudly. Personal praye is talking to god. I mean talking to god means saying daily things to god. I have even seen my parents doing it. Happy mylotting.

They are the right things to do when we miss the dearly departed imagining they are still around as it is the way we remember them.

No not at all. I don't think I need to have a photo to say something. Normally, I utter words about them in my prayers. Happy mylotting.

yeah, just holding the photos and whispering prayers is enough gestures or signs that we remember the dearly beloved departed.

Yeah, that is the right attitudes everyone should not be ashamed to tell loving words to their loved ones how much you care or loved them before its too late.

I tend to spend a great deal of time talking to my grandparents who have long passed away. Sometimes I talk to their picture and other times I just sit or lay there and talk to them. They were the most loving & understanding 2 people that I had ever had the pleasure of knowing and I miss them dearly. Have a great evening.

I see it as a normal things and it is the only way that we feel could communicate with them better than you should continue even it sounds very emotional and sad it is the way we release the feeling which we have for them showing them how much you miss them would surely be appreciated. As they may be not bodily presence but their spiritual care and guidance will always be there for you.

I do with my father and so does my sister. I had a very good relationship with my father but he did not live long enough to see my kids. He saw only 1 grandchild (my brother's). Sometimes, I speak to him in my thoughts (mostly) asking for guidance whenever I have problems or simply to say, I wished he could see all of his grandchildren and us (my brothers and sister) and of course, my mother. It is really hard for those left behind than for the one who left. It gets better in years though and he is always remembered. We still celebrate his birthday until this day, 17 years after he has passed away.

Taking times to look and see the beloved departed photos is one way to remember them and at the same time spend quite time to whisper some prayers for their souls. Although, it is a sad things it is a fact of reality and grieving for the loss is a way to release some emotions which have keep tied from the recent years that it is unspoken. By just looking at the pictures we recall the good things we share with the beloved departed and wishing for their guidance even they are bodily absences.

I do! Especially that I am away from my Mom right now because she lives almost 4hours away from me since I lived on my own since 2004...So, it's just once in awhile that I get to visit her each month and whenever I fondly miss her, I look at our photos together and talk to it - I tell her, I miss her through that picture and usually, I always end up deciding to see her that soon because it always makes me miss her more and gets me teary-eyed. Love her so much. She's my bestfriend in so many ways!

My grandad past away long time ago, but i never talk to his photo when I'm alone, i just look at it and think about him, I'm sure he understand me and can feel what's in my heart. But when i visited him at cemetery, i always talk to him. Talk about what's new in our life and how we missed him.
Happy myloting.

no, i don't. i think it's creepy. i get scared easily. i have seen a lot of horror films when a person talks to a photo then the person who is in the photo would suddenly answer and talk back. lol.
