#2 Posing a question to those whom may have professional training in such matters. How much of a transition is it from constantly talking about the deceased, to actually talking with the deceased ?

#4 Short-term memory goes first; older memories hang on. So it was at my Father's funeral, my Mother introduced my sister to me as Mother's sister.

Beau must be a very strong old memory.
