I was wondering if anybody else writes letters to a lost loved one. I have been writing letters to my miscarried children every week. I wrote the first one on my due date, it helped to write what I wanted to say to them. I don't send them anywhere, I just save the letters to my desktop.
Is this weird? Does anybody else do this? I want to stop being so sad all the time. Any advice will help.

Remember, when all else fails, take a breath, say a prayer and take it all in stride.
It's not weird at all. I remember when my Grandad died, I was going to write a letter and put it in a bottle and throw it in the sea, but I never got round to it. I wish I had now. I think it's a great way of expressing how you feel. This must be really hard for you, I'm so sorry.

"When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.”
First of all hunni in our own ways we are all weird, but what your doing is in no way weird. Infact I think it's a very smart move, it helps you express how you feel and sometimes seeing things in words makes them easier to handle then being cooped up in your head.
My grandad died over 6? years ago now and I have on the odd occasion wrote letters to him.
take care of yourself hunni and if you ever want to chat pm me

Well, I don't write to loved ones, but more to an imaginary person in my head (so I guess that makes ME the weird one). I keep a journal at diaryland.com where all the letters are saved. *hugs* I hope you feel better hon. I have very little advice, not knowing too much about you, but perhaps trying to get out and have some fun? Do things that you know you enjoy and spend time with people who care about you.
"I have this dream of being whole. Of not going to sleep each night wanting, but still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing, I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen."
hi sweetie,
it's not weird in the slightest, its one of the main things that helps a lot of people when they are grieving because it keeps that connection and gives you an outlet for your feelings.
i am sorry gor your loss
but well done on trying to deal with your grief through writing these letters alot of people wouldnt do that, this doesnt make you weird it makes you very strong and brave
take care

You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.
It isnt weird at all. My gf died a couple of years back now, and I still on occassion write letters to her. Its just one of the little quirks of the human spirit thats all
As has been said, it's not weird at all, and it can be a really good way of getting out what you want to say as if your children are listening. Can you think of anything that you might need to make you feel less sad? Of course you will be feeling sad, it's natural, and not necessarily a bad thing but I can understand that it is overwhealming. It might help to talk through your feelings with someone if you can. I'm here if you need anything, please get in touch any time. Take care. xxx
I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.
Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.

There is nothing wrong with it, its just away of leting your feelings out hnny.

" my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you" you were carried out of are lifes into the next and when its my time to leave this life I know i will be carried into the next life with you.
I wish i had my world complete again.
