For those who have just lost a loved one, “magical<\/a><\/strong> thinking” – almost-superstitious, ritualized behavior that people feel can keep them “in touch” with the recently deceased – can be a reality<\/a><\/strong>. The late Patrick Swayze’s wife Lisa Niemi, for instance, regularly sends her departed husband text messages. ABC News reports<\/a><\/strong>:<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n

While boarding a plane in July, Lisa Niemi sent a text message to her husband, the actor Patrick Swayze. Even though he died of pancreatic cancer a year ago Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It could have been a scene out of Ghost<\/em>, the romantic comedy starring Swayze and Demi Moore. Niemi, 54, said it helps her feel his presence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Her behavior is not unusual, say psychologists who help grieving spouses. In fact, it is normal – a kind of “magical thinking.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What do you think – is this just a normal part of the grieving<\/a><\/strong> process? Or can such rituals actually create a form of contact with people on the other side?<\/div>\n
