Speaking to a Loved One that has Recently Passed
I joined this forum recently because my grandma passed away a few months ago. Ever since her ashes were brought to our home (we haven't buried her yet), I have been talking to her spiritually in private because things have been difficult lately for me. My parents are getting a divorce, I am still looking for a job, and we have to move soon so that is the reason why I have been communicating her spiritually. I don't want anyone else to find out or they might think I am psychologically crazy hence why I talk to her in privacy. But I want to ask everyone, is it weird to talk to a loved one that has recently passed away?
Hiya @wandamx26, I find it super brave of you to share here.💛
Incredibly heartbreaking to hear about your loss. :( It's completely understandable to seek comfort in talking to her spiritually, especially during such an emotionally and mentally challenging time with your family and the stress of job searching.Â
To be honest, I think the world around us has a lot of opinions, different ones too, and that's okay, as everyone's experiences and beliefs can be different. So at the end of the day, if something makes sense to you, and you find it not-weird for yourself, then it isn't weird. And others' opinions are cancelled because they aren't in your spot and shouldn't tell you how to feel or what to do.Â
I'd like to share how I feel about it though. Talking to a loved one who has passed away isn't weird at all, to me, many people find solace in doing that. I do too.Â
It can be a gentle way to process grief and keep their memory alive, just something to hold onto, as we are processing our emotions and grieving. So truly, it is important to honor your feelings and how you choose to cope with loss. And you can take as much time you need, in doing so, at your pace.💛
Sending kind thoughts your way.Â
