Thanks so much for sharing this personal experience with us. I think now - around the holidays when we remember and miss our loved ones - is the most absolutely perfect time to post this.

I have an altar - a shelf where I have pictures and handouts from memorials of those who have passed - so I talk to them and they are part of the "scene." They don't talk back, of course, but the memories of their personalities are easily available to me. I can imagine what they might say in a given situation.

Most of the time I pass by the altar, and I'm rather obsessive if someone puts their drink or gloves there, but the collection of mementos of those I knew and loved is comforting to me.

Hard to explain, but it works for me. I don't know where we go, I only know that some souls ( all souls if they want ) are so fine, they should continue
