In some respects, definitely, dead relatives can assist the living through a variety of degrees.
For example, if you are extremely hungry and have no other available source of nourishment, you can simply dig up your father's grave, feed off of his corpse, and then also use his coffin as shelter. Provided that there is a stream nearby, all of the neccessary conditions by which life can exist are met, and you owe it all to your dad, who also brought forth your life in the first place.
Peace.

I think it is good for me to think, that my parents, who died in the 90,s can here me when I talk to them, but I will have no ideal if this is real, till I die.

The coffin might be adequate shelter, but as corpses may not be buried without first being embalmed, Dad would not be a good source of nourishment.

That was a very Swami-esque reply!
Can the spirits of Dead Relatives provide guidance to the living?

Which is precisely why you have to chop him into pieces, put him in a blender, create a stew, and then undergo a chemistry process by which to seperate the embalming fluid from his blended corpse. It's a good thing.

So you'd have a blender and a chemistry set in the coffin with you?

Whoa, same here, I am finding myself quite offended by the very fact that you expressed that you felt offended by my post.
So, like, what... do we both get banned, then, or what?
Peace.

Sometimes the memories of my late father provide with a sense of confidence, courage, and pride. If I consider my memories of him to be an intangible extension of him, his spirit, then I say yes, he does deliver guidance. The experience is even more fulfilling on a psychedelic.

Well, perhaps if you had been more clear and precise as to exactly the intended route for discussion to travel upon, this wouldn't have ever occurred.
In order for this discussion to continue onward, as to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, please define spirit and demonstrate that it exists, or the conditions by which we are to assume it exists for the purposes of discussion.
Peace.

I once took a fence, but then the cows got out and trampled me and squirted me with milk and like, ja, I learned my lesson.
Oh, and it was an electric fence wrapped in barbed wire, so my ass was receiving shock therapy for a week.
*officially restrains himself from posting anymore as to prevent Swami getting banned again*
