Of course you can. But if you think they can reply, then you might have a problem.

I still talk to the mother of my children, more than 10 years after she passed. I tell her how they're doing, and I ask her questions I know she cannot answer. I am an atheist so I know that of course there is no way she can hear me, but it's not for her. It's just for me. I hear her voice in my head, guiding and advising me. Now that they are all adults and living their own lives, I don't talk to her as much as I used to, while they were younger.
