I've never much been one to talk to the dead, or even to talk to myself. I generally only talk to people (perhaps sometimes animals too) who can actually hear me.
Tony has been talking to Mum a lot since her death and James has followed suit, saying good morning to her each day. I this is great; I just don't feel that it is the thing for me.
However, I still feel the loss deeply and last night wrote:
"I love you Mum, and I miss you very much."
