There are a number of ways that a non-psychic can commun with the dead,  \n\nBEWARE DARK BEGETS DARK AND WHITE BEGETS WHITE\n\nYou can use a talking board to contact the spirit world but you get out what you put in and there is no way of knowing if the entity you are talking with is actualy the spirit you are seeking.  \n\nHere is a link to a site that may be very useful to you.\n\nwww.museumoftalkingboards.com

my parents died a looooong time ago.  but, i found an exercise, to help me resolve issues with my dad. it was in a magazine somewhere sometime.  the excercise goes like this:\nset your chair opposite your dead parents chair.  sit down and tell 'him' what happened and how you felt.  go sit in the parent's chair.  speak for him and explain what happened and tell yourself what you really need to hear from him.\ndo this over and over until you work all issues and you have peace in your heart.\n\nmy dad did several things that only an adult could be able to deal with.  so as an adult, i dealt with him in this way.\n\nyou really know more about the reasons now that your grown so this way you realize it wasn't as serious as it seemed then.  a more violet situation may take professional help.

Here is something that you can share with your mother.  You might even find it helpful to read it -- or parts of it -- together, then discuss what comes to mind.  It may not be easy or enjoyable, but it can certainly show her that you care if you do so with a view to helping her (rather than just 'getting it over with')!  \n\nWhen Someone You Love Dies : \n...

You would need to establish contact - frequent, verifiable and able to be reproduced at will - with the beings that have moved on from the physical state to the spiritual one.

My brother just returned, a few months ago. I stayed in touch with his girlfriend, by email and the occasional phone call, they live together in another state. You may want to contact the chaplain for his unit and see if a group is available. Also you could talk to some of the other significant others and bring up a weekly or monthly meeting, just to pass on news and share some time. I spoke to my brother about once a week while he was there by webcam and instant messenger. My brother was in Al Asad, it was bad but we were all able to see him. When his kids were here for a visit, I even had the webcam on them and he was able to see and chat with them, it was really great, considering. \n\nGood luck, fcabre@yahoo.com

okay, there are a few ways that things like that can be documented... most of which are not easy.  the way that I've found that works good, is go out there with a tape recorder, keep yourself calm, try not to show any fear of where you're at.  Sit down and turn the tape recorder on.  (make sure you have a very long running tape) and just start to have a conversation, once you're all a little comfortable with where your at and the likes, start trying to talk to 'them'.  Once you've been in an area for a while and the energies settle down, if 'they' are out there, they settle and be curious (provided there wasn't a tragic death where the spirits are angry)  and you may not hear them, but just say things like 'if you're out there, don't fear us, we don't mean to upset your balance'  or something like 'we'd like to help answer your questions' just TALK to them... candles are good too, as flashlights illuminate dust particles and candles offer a warm soft glow.  try to find out the history of the place, and relay that into your conversations.  just let the recorder go until the tape runs out.  then when you get home, play it back, but you have to turn the volume up VERY loud, because if you can catch them on the machine, they are extremely hard to hear... that's why people use techniques that they can transfer into a computer and isolate the different sound waves.\n\nNow if you really want to dabble in this stuff... take a ouija board out there... but that can get really strange and sometimes you find things you don't want to find...  so best to stick with trying to lul them into talking to you.  \n\nMost spirits that stay on this plane, are looking for someone who can help them, and once in a while, they'll find a subtle way of letting you know they're there.... but just talk to them, it can help keep them calm and respectful.  Sometimes it can help the group of people to gather in a circle and create a 'protection circle' around you, just stand holding hands and picture a blue ciricle around your group that will keep harm out.... that way, you'll only get the friendlier spirits.\n\nhope this helps... I don't recomend dabbling in this stuff, especially if anyone in the group is 'sensitive' to any form of spiritial energies... but if you're determined, try those methods!\n\nWalkie talkies and cell phones will sometimes pick up things, you wont really be able to understand them, but you may be able to hear things.... but you can't really record that...

I wish i could answer this question for you but i dont think any of us will ever know this until we too reach the end of our particular journey in life. Just believe that in your heart he will be with you always and remember to hold onto all the good memories he surely will have given to you. I have a friend who had cancer and he has only just died last wednesday due to septacaemia. He was only 35 and i know that for as long as i live i will truly believe that he is watching over me be it in heaven or just another dimension that we may travel into. God bless you and your family. I am sorry i do not have the answer you are looking for but dont let other people fool you with their spiritualistic views, none of us know where we are going until that day arrives!!

I highly recommend that you read "Visits From the Afterlife" by Sylvia Browne.  She explains all about ghosts and spirits.  It's fascinating!

You are not looney.  I believe in them as well.  I recently lost a good friend to cancer and I know she is with me.  I had been begging her to let me know that she was ok and that she loved me, and she came to me.  There is a book - The Idiots Guide to Communicating with the Spirits - the title is goofy, but one of the authors is a well known Artist Medium - her name is Rita Berkowitz.  It teaches you about how to get in touch with your "life guides", meditate, etc.  You should look into it.

I do believe in communication with those that have passed on. Be open to it and talk to them as if they are still right in front of you. They are around us all the time. Dreams are a great way to communicate with these souls. I have my own experiences that are on going. If really interested you should do some research into the different techniques you can use to connect with your grandfather. It is obvious you have great love and respect for him. It's not creepy or weird you just have to have faith and believe.\nLove & Light

yes as I have seen my Spirit Guides on more than one occasion before I moved. when I was packing and getting ready, I asked and pleaded with them to come with me, so I wouldn't be lonely. am very pleased they came with me as I wouldn't want to be without them as I would be extremely lonely without them to talk to and with.

I'm sorry for your loss. You are grieving and would probably benefit from speaking to a trusted counselor, family member, or religious leader. \n\nIn my own experience with loss, I have found that creating something in memory of my friend has helped me turn a difficult thing into something positive. You might try writing a story about your experiences together, a poem about the person, or create some artwork. Creative outlets can be very theraputic, and your friend's family will appreciate that you cared so much for their loved one, too. Best wishes.

I am sorry,  my grandmother has lost her will to live after my father died three years ago, I do not believe you will ever get over it, I think you may be able to one day accept your child died,  but you will always grieve and feel your loss, I am not sure the goal is too get over it, I was devastated when my father died and I know this cannot compare honestly if my children died, I would probably semi lose my mind at least temporarily. and I know I would become a humanitarian worker on the international scene for human rights watch or red cross, in the thick of things. and I would have a very nomadic lifestyle, however I still  feel the hole that was ripped open in my soul the day my father died, I do not believe it will ever go away, church made me feel worse. the funeral was horrible .I told the priest he was full of it ,and so was his religion ,which offered no comfort .and I informed him  that my father detested religion,I can relate to not wanting to hear the empty god comments. what surprisingly helped me , was a support group for grief victims ,people who had the same or similar experiences .I would have never  joined a group like this, but it was a service offered ,because I donated his organs.and amazingly just the pamphlets generated from the group touched me and helped ease my grief, I know it sounds like it will do no good, but It is truly worth a try, for you to get in touch with other parents who lost their children, I know I saw a persons 360 page on yahoo ,the mans child died and the support from the online community was amazing .I am not sure this will help you as much as a real group ,but not feeling alone in your anger is crucial to feeling better, it is most difficult to hold on to yourself or soul ,if you believe in that, when you are filled with misery ,it is so much harder to love yourself,life, or anything than it is to hate .and making that human connection with others that can truly understand you rather than dismissively wish you well or try to say something they think you want to hear, is the first step in regaining the feeling of control and a new perspective , I also encourage you to visit my 360 page and dont read it ,cause I am bad and while I try to remain positive, I do tend to gravitate to the darkside at times, but go to my friends list  find Skyes avatar click on it and visit skyes page, this beautiful woman is a well of positivity, and spiritual well being .and just reading her blogs make me feel better and I am sure they can touch your heart as well

It's real simple.  Know your faith as best you can. Know what you believe deep inside, and then simply speak from there.  Speak simple, because that's about as much as they can understand, and I've always done it in English better than any other language, so . . . give it to 'em that way.  They might not like your answers, and be okay with that.  They're not always there to understand you.  They're most often there to argue with you and insult you.  Know that, give it to 'em straight, and realize, it's up to them what they do with it.  "You can lead a horse (nag or stallion) to water, but you CAN'T MAKE THEM DRINK."  You'll have done the best you can in the eyes of God, and that's ALL that matters.  God Bless you.

first go to a church and offer prayer and thanksgiving to God for making u what u r today and for all the blessings that has come your way.  \n\nthen u could go to an orphanage or a home for the aged and spend some quality time with them.  \nu could donate something if its within your capacity, but then most of all they would appreciate it if u could spend some quality time with them.  \nremember, they are more lonely than u are.  your company would be a mutual pleasure for all of u.  good luck and God bless.............

The only thing you can do is remember those you have lost, but don't dwell on them. We carry a piece of spirit from everyone we will ever know and everyone we meet will carry a piece of our spirit. It is what provides a sense of immortality as we pass from the physical world we continue on in the hearts and minds of those we leave behind. \n\nIf you imagine your lost loved ones as being in heaven/hell than they are truely lost to you for you have chosen to forget who they are and assume they are somewhere far from you. If you think of only the good/bad things they have done than you cling to an illusion and ignore the truth of who they are. You must remember not only the things you liked about them, but the things you hated about them too. By sharing memories you add to the spirit of your friend for all that knew them, for each piece you all possess provides a better picture of who your friend truely was.\n\nContinue to live your life, and when you come across something that reminds you of your friend then think of them, remember those events of the past and let the spirit of your friend live again in your heart and mind. Instead of feeling sad, think about what they might say, for the moment you remember them they are there with you once again in your life.
