If you want to see if your family member may still be with you, purchase a Sony Digital Voice Recorder. Sony has excellent quality ones that are very reliable.

    Sit down in a chair in a room/place where family member spent a lot of their time. Place the voice recorder down on a soft surface, like a carpet or on a tablecloth and press record. Start talking to them, as if he or she was in the room with you. Ask them questions, like "Do you miss mom?" or "What's for dinner?". Also ask them if they can move something in the house, or make a noise, to proove that they are really there with you.

Ask questions that you feel they have to answer.

    The idea behind this is that they might respond you. To find out if they responded, play back the recording of you asking them questions and listen (with headphones) for a response. If you ever did get a response, you can upload the recording onto your computer and listen to it on your computer, and send it to family and friends.

    This might not work the first few times, so try this the same exact time everyday, or the same day every week at the same exact time. (In other words, do this every [ex.] Friday at 7:00 PM). Try not to break this pattern, because this pattern will help them contact you and know when you're available.

Hope this has helped you some.
