Talking to them is #PerfectlyNormal in grief. Talking to your person – aloud or in your head – carrying on conversations with them, singing to them, greeting them when you come home, saying goodbye when you leave, saying goodnight when you go to sleep – these things and more are all completely normal. ⁣

The relationship we have with those we’ve lost doesn’t end with their death. Whether you’re sharing some news, recalling a memory, asking for their advice or opinion, expressing frustration that they aren’t here to see this or help with that, or just letting them know that you love them, you miss them, you’re thinking about them – reaching out like this, continuing the conversation is healthy and normal.⁣

How about you? Do you talk to your person? The more we tell the truth about what grief is really like, the more people realize they’re not alone. ⁣
