Is it normal to still talk to someone close to you who has died?

someone i dated and remained friends with died a few weeks ago, and i find myself writing how much i miss them in Skype, even though i know i won't get a reply.

is it normal to do this?

what harm is there in doing it?

    Nothing wrong with this at all, it's your way of coping. Last year a 16 year old in my community killed himself and he was everyones friend. Even today people still go to his grave and talk to him, it's sad but I'd probably do the same thing.

    We all have ways of coping...it is normal in an unnormal kind of way...we all do weird things when it comes to death

    i think that some people say no to this. to them i say fuck you. i beleive that it is normal. i do it all the time to my freind who die from being hit by a train and it didnt even make the news. but yeah in other words it is normal. anybody who tells you different, kill them, cut them up into tiny little peices, shove them in an oven and yell "now you really can burn in hell motherfucker!"

    It;s normal, just part of your grieving process. although, you realize you do have to stop this sometime, right? I know it's hard to cope with the loss of someone close to you, but eventually the time comes to move on. My condolences

    Can you people not see it? Justin bieber is a modern day Heinrich Himmler.

    Yeah it's normal. They're always gonna be with you in some way and if that is the way you would like to let them know you still think of them, it's perfectly fine.
    It's kinda the same idea as when a person passes, and their friends will still write messages on their Facebook wall about anything, your way is just more private.

    I'm sorry for your loss. You can actually ask your friend who has died to pray for you just like some people ask the Virgin Mary to pray for them when they say the Hail Mary. You can also pray to God for the salvation of your friend's soul. If you want, you could write letters to your friend in a journal telling her how much you miss her when you feel sad. God Bless the both of You and hang in there.
