no ive never seen him or really talked to him since he has been dead. but something is weighing on my heart i need to tell him and get an answer from him, somehow. dont tell me to write a letter and put at his grave... i had sent a letter to him before he died and it was returned to me, he never got it. i think if he had received it, he would still be alive now. please only serious answers. its difficult loosing someone you love, dont make it harder for me by criticizing me.

You don't need to do anything. All has been revealed to your friend in death. Without even speaking he already knows what is in your heart.

Now it is your turn to hear him. Find a quiet time or place and sit and just listen. Listen with your heart....I am sure your friend will be able to ease your heart so that you are not to worry anymore.



The reason I can tell you this with such certainty in my heart is because one of my brothers died at a young age and it tore the family apart...we all felt that there were things we needed and wanted to say. But in his own time my brother has revealed to each of us that he is ok and he knows what is truly in our hearts.



I hope this helps and I am sorry for your loss.

There are real mediums who can communicate with some who have crossed over. But if that is not doable I would suggest you practice meditation for a sense of communication and closure You can call on your personal angel to help you transmit your message and receive confirmation about your friends trasition and healing on the other side.Include the intention that your friends passage on the other side be easy There is also a process of releasing ties and exchanging mutual forgivness even if you feel that you are just pretending the conversation it will get through

I feel that your friend who has crossed over has reached peace though regrets some action taken is more unsettled by your current distress than by the issues during life include wishing well and release from all negative Karma

I won't criticize you, but I have to tell you there's no way you can do this... it's not possible. If it were, then life would mean something entirely different than it does.



We all must say what we have to say, while we have the chance to say it. Once the chance is gone, it's gone. It's a fool that ignores this fact... and runs the risk of ... well I don't need to tell you the risk.



Now... know this for your own relief... you're not a fault for whatever happened. You did the best you could, you're doing the best you can, and you will always do the best that you can.



Let yourself go of this burden...

Well,, many religions believe that when someone dies they are asleep until the ressurection. So I am not going to tell you that you can definatly tell him adn recieve adn answer from it. The Danger of trying to Talk to spirits is that not all spirits are good and you have no way of knowing if it is honestly your friend you are talking to.



Ouija boards are dangerous things to mess with. Signs are also usually just a way to justify somethign to yourself. sending a flower you could say that the flowers outside your job or a Anne Geddes Gallery in your area is a sign, it doesn't make it one.



Contacting the dead can open up many spiritual doorways, many of which you don't want to open.

How about praying and asking your high power to guide you to an answer. You say you don't want to send a letter then talk to God or whoever your higher power is and ask him to guide your thoughts, feelings, and any guilt or remorse that you may have about your friend's death. Also, please read Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10 Psalms 146:3 @ 4, and maybe this will give or bring you some comfort. Forgive yourself for anything that you may have done to cause any harm to him because I am sure if you did, he has forgiven you. Also, we are all imperfect, and are prone to make mistakes; they're called mistakes because they are usually not planned. May the God of your understanding guide your heart and emotions......Best wishes....

The answer I will give is not to criticzise you but to help you not send your friend another message that your friend does not get.

Often People say they have talked with the dead. The late James A Pike, a prominent Episcoplian bishop, said he talked with his dead son Jim. According to Pike, his son told him: "I have masses of people around me, and hands lifting me up, as it were.....I was so unhappy untill I could make you know."

Since such experiences are so common, it is evident that many people have spoken to someone from the spirit world. But they have not talked with the dead, The Bible is very clear when it says:"As for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all."(Eclesiastes9:5) So if it is not the dead who are speaking from the spirit world, who are speaking? Who are pretending to be dead persons?

Wicked spirits are. These spirits or demons, are angels who joined Satan in rebellion against God. Why do they pretend to be persons who have died? It is to advance the idea that the dead are still living. Wicked spirits have also lead many to believe the lie that death is only a change to another life. To spread this lie, wicked spirits provide spirit mediums, fortune tellers and sorcers with special knowledge that only seems to come from persons who have died. So please keep away from those because they are used by wicked spirits and you will only get more heartache by listening to them, wicked spirits are wicked, and they only want you to miss seeing your brother again where as God promised he would bring back to life dead loved ones!So your better bet would be to turn to God instead and get help from him instead!



But there is a way that you can talk to your friend againemail me I will tell you more!

I would suggest talking to your religious leader, and the two of you talking to him should work. then you can give detail, and actually hear via the first responses from the human with you.

Like when I thank GOD for all the miracles I've received during the weeks between confessions - the priest is a conduit to heaven, not a human, but his reactions bring a solid note of being delivered and of response.

Most religions have leaders that listen, I would go to one - and talk.

Unfortunately - you may not have physical proof, just words, until you see him in heaven again. I ...well can't say See my shipmate died and man it hurt, but you live as best you can, I named my son after him, so he can live through him, (he was 18) - trouble maker,Ha man- well

talk to your religious leader

Peace.

He can hear you. He watchs you everyday and is by you all the time. People don't seem to believe this but I feel thats its true. Just like if you have a ghost in your house and you want it to go away. Tell him/her that they are dead and they don't belong here anymore and they need to move on.



He can here you. So just say what you need to say and know that he will understand. Also do your best to remeber your dreams at night. That is when they will vist you the most.



I hope this helps



I hope that you don't find this as criticzing you becasue I am not. This is how I truly see the those who have pasted. I feel that they are behind you always. For behind you I mean if you could see him he would standing right behind you right now. They stay close to thouse who love them and whom they love.

Say it. Say it as loudly as you can in your heart and mind. Scream it at the top of your lungs. He will hear you if you let him. It will be hard to know if he's heard you, because maybe he can't answer. But I think you'll feel it. Tell him as hard as you can.



It's hard to lose someone close to you, I know. Have you ever seen the Butterfly Effect? This will make more sense if you have. Maybe he died so someone else could live. Time is a strange thing, and life and death are stranger still.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 & 6 For the living know that they will die but the dead know not anything neither have they any more reward for the memory of them is forgotten. Just let it go. It is too late, sorry! Pray about it is all you can do now. Going to "mediums" is expressly forbiden in the Bible. do not go down that road!!! Revelation 21:8

According to indian philosophy, the soul of the person, enters into the womb of another woman, at the moment of conception. When man and woman are making love, if the woman conceives,when the male sperm enters the egg, and the soul waiting for rebirth, enter the embryo at that very moment. In India they say it is usually within 13 days of the death of the person. So after nine months he his back as a newly born baby.

Do you beleive in prayer? I do. And I have done this. My Father is dead...and I miss him. One day when I was really wanting to talk to him, I said a prayer to God and asked him to look up my Dad and to please tell him (my Dad) hello....and that I was really missing him. Now I don't know what happened in heaven, but I do know that I felt better and the missing lessoned a little.



Know that your friend is in a better place, a place where he can learn many things....a place where he knows more than he did while on earth. Open your heart and feel peace. We here on earth sometimes let ourselves hurt for far too long about things that are over and done. Pray about it and Let it go.

You can always go to a psychic to help you but be careful with doing that because there are a lot of fakes out there.



If it was me, I would go to his graveside or find a quiet place at my house. I would light some white candles. Surround myself with pictures of him and items that remind me of him and speak out loud. Tell him what I wanted him to know. Then I would ask him to give me a sign that he heard me.



You need to realize that he probably already knows how you feel and what you want to say. I believe that the ones that have past before us know everything when they cross over. It is you that needs to work through your feelings. He already knows. Good luck, Honey.

I'm sorry. I have a similar loss in my past. I don't have any advice. I can't help but feel bad for not doing something a little BETTER which would have changed things, but I didn't know what was in the future. I dreamed about him a couple times. I was happy to see him, and we acted like nothing was wrong but he seemed like he didn't want me to remind him he had died--like it would end his visit. I really liked seeing him in those few dreams.

You cannot talk to dead people. Christians and atheists can agree on this. Christians believe dead people do not awaken until Judgement day, and atheists say death is final. I am sorry that someone important to you died, but it would be cruel to offer false hope. Some unscrupulous people might tell you they know how to contact dead people...for a fee. Don't fall for that vile con game!

This Samhain (Halloween) is the one day of the year that the veil between the worlds (the living and the "dead") is very thin. I would suggest trying to communicate with your friend on this night.

anyone who criticizies you is a jerk i know what your giong through and first of all i'm sorry for you lost and your guilt for not being able to say what you want. theres no logical way to know if or if not he heard you. best way is to visit him (in his resting place) and tell him whats in your heart dear. tell him whats in your heart, your misery. after all that there should be a big weight lifted off your shoulders, a burden no more shall it be and thats when my friend you'll know that he heard you and accepted what you had to say. if its more serious maybe talkin to his sibling(s) or his parents tell them what you can't tell them. i hope it helped if not i'm here if you need to talk to someone. i know how you feel i been there more then enough times. good luck.

You can absolutely rest assured that whatever issue may have been between you and your friend is no longer an issue with him. He knows your true heart and soul. None of that matters anymore to him! Only what is true in you remains -- and therefore only what is true in others remains. Everything else passes away. No worries for him anymore!! So you really CAN let yours go too!!

Go to his grave, if you can, and tell him there. Ask for his forgiveness, and pray to God for the ability to forgive yourself for whatever you are feeling guilty about. I don't think there is a way to know for certain that he heard you, all you can do is what you CAN do.

Do a good deed to make up for it. Contribute to a charity, do volunteer work, help a neighbor, etc. That's the best way to feel better about it.

Hi, If you believe in God, pray to him, talk with him about it. You could follow one of the amswers to your question and do some volunteer work, or make a donation to a charity in your friend's name.

Go to where he is burried and talk to him just as you would if he was standing there because he probably will be. Tell him how you feel and ask him to stop by some night and talk to you.



OH... you start by stamping your foot several times by the headstone... then call his name. Once you think he is there, then start talking to him.

Tell him then ask for a flower to be sent to you so you'll know that he heard you. Watch for a flower to appear within a week. It could be real flower, or a picture of one, but I bet he'll send one.

You can not speak to the dead!! I would just pray to Jesus Christ and tell him everything even ask him to forgive you of your sins. you will be able to see him again someday, Jesus promised us that. read psalms145:18 and i hope it will make you feel better and I will pray for you also.

If it is Guilt you feel then you must go to God with it. Ask him to take your Guilt and forgive you of any sins. It is between you and God now. Your friend is dealing with God now too. The issues between the two of you are now each and issue with God. Any sins you has agaisnt you he will deal with God for forgiveness..and any sins you have against him , you will need to take to God.

Good luck and be blessed!

Sweetie, go to a psychic and try to have him/her contact him.........If you are blaming yourself for his death, you really need to stop it.........People choose every day whether they want to live or die, and unless you yourself pulled the trigger, you did not kill him...........You can feel bad for not being as helpful as you could have been, but there's a time for the guilt to end...........Go on with your own life, and be kind and loving and sweet as you are..........Take care, dear.........

go to a church, (catholic) and light a candle and say a prayer for him, the saints run a messenger service for the souls and will pass what you say on to him. And then get back to your life.
