Letters

Have you ever written a letter to someone that has passed?

I just finished writing a letter to my dad, and it felt theraputic.

I cried, but at the same time, it felt good to get my thoughts and feelings on "paper".

So, have you ever written a letter to someone who is no longer alive?

The Sky looks different when you have someone you love up there.

@Anonymous032819 I envy the relationship you had with your father.

@Anonymous032819 I haven't written a letter. But, when my mother passed I had bought her a Valentine.
I wrote a note inside and placed in in her casket. I cried !
When I do things that remind me of her(which is often), I'll laugh thinking I'm really like her.

When I repair things sometimes I'll think that my Papa would know how to fix it.
They are always in my heart!

No, but it sounds like a good idea if you had issues or just didn't get to say goodbye.

I have not written a letter to someone that has passed. My dad passed in June but we had lots of time to talk and share our feelings during the 2 weeks after his diagnosis and before he died. We were close so we had no issues to resolve. However I might take your idea to fruition concerning my sister who died very young. We had lots of ups and downs and I still think perhaps there were things that I could have done differently to ease the tension between us. Em

No ,I pray to them ,and ask for their help and prayers.I tell them I love them, and am thankful they are my friends One of my dear friends is someone I frequently ask for help ,in small matters..I believe in communion of the saints ,and the living and the dead are able to pray for one another..to pray means to ask,,it doesn't mean I worship them, because I don't. It is a big source of comfort for me

If a letter brings you comfort, it is a good thing to do

No but the passing of my dad (34 years ago) was yesterday -- I had a good day remembering all he was to me, my family and being my best friend.

Everyday something reminds me to "thank" him for the person I am today!

Letters are a great way to put our feelings on paper...and a good cry is healthy (I think) when we remember those wonderful memories!

I have a very special bond with my GD. I supply her with note cards, stamps & we've been "pen pals" since she was 5 or 6 (8 now). Every week or so she writes me a note -- I cherish every one! There is nothing better than a written letter/note from someone.

On days I'm sad & missing her since she lives up north I pick a note -- read it and a better day I have🙂

hugs ....

No, but I have talked and prayed to my grandmother numerous times. And other folks also who have passed. I was just closest to my granny and I know she is with me sometimes.
