Is it weird writing to a dead person?

so my mom died when I was five and whenever I go through something I write to her in this notebook..is that wierd? abnormal? healthy?

Answer #1

it is definitely not weird! people even go to the graves of a dead loved one and talk to them. it’s your way of feeling relief and everything, its healthy and i don’t see a problem with it. as long as you get your feelings out its okay! (:

Answer #2

Nope not weird at all, its like gettin out things u wud like to say to them or wud have liked to say to them while they were here

Answer #3

I think it is a nice vehicle with which to express your memories thoughts and emotions. I don’t think it is in any way “weird”. It is the sort of thing that creative talents have always done using almost any medium available to them. It is probably much more meaningful and honest than the routine “obituaries” and “In Memoriam” notices that relatives often just post in newspapers. . Most people are rather more fortunate than you in that they have many years worth of memories of their Parents - conversations, holidays, special occasions and so forth. You have so little to rely on to remember your mother - except for those heartfelt conversations that might have been - lovingly recorded in your notebook. . I am sure it is perfectly healthy and must have created a sense of closeness to the mother who was cruelly taken from you so early in your life.
. If you can believe in the concept of “after-life”, then you must surely see that she is very proud of you and your inclination to maintain an active link with her. .

no not at all sometimes writing letters to people who are no longer with us and by comunicating with them somehow makes us feel closer to them

Answer #5

of course it depends on who you ask, but personally i’ve done it with my grandmother who passed away 4 years ago. i also find myself praying to her when i need someone to talk too. it gives me a sense of security and it gets stress off of my shoulders. i find it very effective, and not weird on any level.

Answer #6

I think it’s completely normal. You miss her and by writing to her you feel closer to her. That’s all right.

People have been writing letters, songs and poems to dead people in almost every age and culture. You may not be a poet, but it’s the same thing basically.

People go to cemeteries and talk to tombstones. It’s completely normal.

Answer #7

not at all, it’s perfectly normal, it’s a way of saying things you can no longer say, if it helps you cope and brings you a sense of relief go for it:)

Answer #8

nop.

Answer #9

No I do it sometimes, it things off my chest.

Answer #10

No, my Mom had a fiancee and he passed away. They used to always leave notes to each other so when we went to put his ashes away in this huge thing (dunno what it’s called) she included a note with it.

Answer #15

I totally agree with Majikthise! I lost 2 friends recently….I still write on both of my friend’s Walls in Facebook….whenever something makes me think of them I write. It is a very healthy way of expressing your feelings….I think it is a great thing that you write to your mother….not weird in any way!
