She already said her very first thought was to kill herself. Spiraling down a path where you think your dead son is talking to you may end with her creating a conversation where he "tells" her to die and be with him. That's probably not likely, but it's entirely possible. There are plenty of other bad situations that could come from the psychosis of truly believing a dead person is talking to you.
Again, I don't know if all that is true, which is why I keep suggesting a psychologist deals with this, not us, not some random person making a phone booth in a park.

You don’t know if it’s harmless, you’re not a psychologist either.

Never said she was hurting anyone, I was worried she was hurting herself. She already said her first thought was to kill herself so she could be with him. What happens if she gets one of those "signs" that she should do exactly that?
This is why I keep suggesting seeing a psychologist, we are not professionals, pretending we know what is best for her beyond that is insane.

Not every method works for everyone. Exposure therapy works wonders for some but can be disastrous for others. That's why I said you should check with a psychologist first. It's great if it works but those are not the words of someone dealing with this well.

This sounds like it could be helpful to people struggling with loss but a lot of this article doesn't sound healthy.
"He sends signs, Laura believes: Dolphins splashing at sunset. A turtle waddling across the grass. His favorite bluesman, Buddy Guy, playing at his favorite fast food joint, Chick-fil-A. On her birthday one year, in a photo her husband took, a glowing green orb appeared on her cheek “like a kiss.”
This reads like a conspiracy theorist justifying aliens. Go to a psychologist before you do something like this, please.

Because this isn't winning, it's just more war. When it's over we may feel relieved and uplifted but this is just more news that more people are going to die. Not everyone on Russia's side is a bad person. Plenty of them were brainwashed by the mountains of propaganda Putin uses to pacify his people.

Wouldn't call this uplifting. Obviously Ukraine is in the right and Putin is in the wrong, but war is never uplifting, no matter the context.

China is doing better at something than they tell us? And it's good for the world? How are they managing that when they have such a massive portion of their populace in portable boxes and locked in burning buildings? The CCP doesn't deserve credit for a goddamn thing right now.
They're installing a whole bunch of wind turbines and solar panels but they are still the biggest producers of greenhouse gasses. This is all "we expect them to be using more of their renewables, they haven't built yet, when they get to their targets"

And you have a picture, how would the gender help you more than having a picture of their face?

People misuse “offset” a lot. Companies offering “carbon offsets” are pretty much all lying to you. It’s just there to make you feel better.
