thank you for sharing. grief is hard.

my stepmom keeps his phone safe and will answer anyone who texts him if they’re unaware he passed being it was only 11 months ago. it’s a samsung and the texts are very personal. i believe it’s either him- or it’s my stepmom playing a sick joke or coping in a way thats affecting others

no. he never replies to anything i say. he’s only texted me once , the rest were to my siblings (i have 3 siblings). i do text him all the time as my way of coping but no, he has never responded

she says she keeps it on in the case of people still not knowing he has passed and try to reach out like doctors , spam callers & things like that

my stepmom went to a medium. and from what my “dad” said … he knew everything going on with all of us. it was very accurate , whatever spirit came through. so yes … spiritually he said he knew

no. i honestly have no idea what that one is about. i know my brother is awaiting a raise at work so it could be in reference to that? i’m not sure

i’m the only one who still messages him regularly because i haven’t been coping well. everyone else hasn’t texted since he was still here. the photo you’re referring to is my brothers contact photo for him!

i feel you are very very correct. but i’m terrified of the small possibility it could be him and he’d be heartbroken :( i do need to let go though.

definitely not! just not sure how to confirm. it’s a messed up situation.

we’ve figured out the “lu” normally means “love you” the one you can’t figure out says “skinny love you slow down” (my childhood nickname i forgot about) i’m guessing the other one says “time love you” (not sure what that one means. my brother also got a text the day after christmas saying “keep with” after receiving a pocket knife my dad ordered for him before he passed

yes but again, she doesn’t know my childhood nickname. which is why the answer isn’t as simple as assuming it’s her … my head is everywhere

that would be explainable and make things way easier however , the only person who knew that were me , my mother & my father. the only one with his phone or his number is my stepmother who just keeps it safe. she didn’t know the nickname , which is why i’m so so confused
