These are the types of texts my brother would send me. This was July 6, 2016. Alton Sterling had just been killed. Philando Castile was about to be killed. And he wanted me to know he was with me.pic.twitter.com/PcDfeVavmT

It is hard to get used to not being able to call someone. You should still text him. It helps to express yourself, even if he can not text back.
There is a very touching documentary about a phone booth in Japan where people go to talk with the dead.
I could see that being comforting.
It was in a village destroyed by the tsunami. People went back to talk on the phone about their lives and what had happened since.
This American Life (@ThisAmerLife) producer @mikimeek has a really beautiful story about this phone booth on the episode called “One Last Thing Before I Go.” Really beautiful and well worth a listen.https://www.thisamericanlife.org/597/one-last-thing-before-i-go …
Thank you. I couldn't remember where I had heard it.
My pleasure! Well done bringing it up in this context. Spot on. I wish we had something similar here...
I lost my brother in '06 and I still have his number in my phone. That feeling never goes away. There are times where I wish, more than anything, I could just shoot him a text to let him know I'm okay. It's hard to lose a brother. It's literally losing your longest friend.
I lost my little niece that was like my sister 18 years ago. And i still think about her everyday. I still got the letter that she wrote me. And whenever i feel depress i just read those letters and feel like she is just talking to@me at that moment.
My sister, 1985. Still feel the same ...
Lost my brother when I was 18 years old in 74 & I still have dreams that I'm still searching for ways to save his life. He was 20 years old & didn't know his wife was pregnant at the time of his death.
Heartbreaking reading this my friend. My brother is always my go to call. Can’t even imagine what it’d be like if that changed. You and your family are in my thoughts. Keep inspiring.
So sorry for your loss, Shaun. 
I am so sorry for your pain, Shaun. May the joyful memories help you during this difficult moment.
So incredibly sorry for your loss. Sending love and light in this difficult time 
I’m so sorry. My sister passed away 19 years ago and I sometimes still have the urge to call her for advice. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
For months after my husband died, I kept his cell phone in service. There were a countless number of times I would call "him", listen to his voice on Vmail and leave him a message. It may seem odd (I've never told anyone this) but it was very comforting & therapeutic for awhile.
