Have you ever emailed a dead person, purposefully? Or wrote to one? My mother recently passed and I occasionally send an email to her. I'm sure her email address will not be floating out there forever and I'll be sad when one finally gets returned.

I'm sorry for your loss.
No, I haven't sent email to deceased people, but I do keep their addresses, probably for waaaay too long. It makes me sad when I see their name but it also makes me think of them. So, I understand where you're coming from, I think.

I still have my Mom's phone number in my contact list on my phone. Can't bear to delete it and it has been a long time.

Yes, after my sister in law died a few years ago I emailed her one last time. I visited her in PA just days before she died but she was so out of it we didn't get to have a comprehensible conversation at the end. DH, other SIL and I went to visit. As we were leaving and we hugged and kissed her she grasped my arm and told me I'd better gain some weight, I was worrying her. That was the only thing she said to me that made sense because she was so addled by the chemo:( That was her, always taking care of everybody else. So yeah, I had to tell her all the things I never had the chance to say because the cancer took her so fast -- and we were all in complete denial that they wouldn't be able to fix her. A bunch of us still post to my nephew's FB page - he died in May. After my uncle died (right before SIL) I kept his number programmed for the longest. I called him half a dozen times or so just to hear his voice. I f---ing HATE cancer.  |

No, but after my brother died, my mom kept getting Yahoo messages from him when she was online. "Hi, how are you?" Stuff like that. "Hello there." Weird.  |

I still have never deleted my first husband's number from my phone. He's been dead for a number of years now, and I'm remarried, but still. I just can't do it.

I haven't but my father died suddenly while I was living in Germany. I came home for a few weeks for the funeral and to help my brother with the estate. I did not have an American cell phone so I just used my dads during the visit. A few days after he died I/he got a text from someone who's number was not saved in the phone so we don't know who it was. It said I miss you Spence. My brother and I knowing what a huge practical joker my father had always been talked about replying I miss you too. I hear you'll be here soon. Or it's hot down here... We didn't but we still fondly remember that and say it could have been his last big joke. We would have if we had known the person but I thought it was too crazy to do to an unknown. Boy my daddy would have laughed at that. He was a card.

I have a lump in my throat just reading this. I'm sorry for your loss...for everyone's loss here. I kept my gram's phone number forever. My uncle's too. It wasn't until I totally upgraded my phone that I lost those numbers. I still have emails from my Gram that I won't delete.

I still have my dad's cell phone number in my contacts. It was his work phone and when he died, they gave the phone to the person that took over his route.
One day, I could hear my phone making noises. (The phone was in my purse across the room) I picked up my cell and saw that somehow, it dialed my dad's number and went to voicemail. As soon as I put the phone down, the new driver called me back, so my phone showed "Dad Calling". Super lost it but felt it was his way of being a pest, even in the afterlife!

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I never have emailed, but I've written letters to them, then hidden them under pics of the person on a layout.
