For only the third time since TW passed, last night I had a dream with her in it. Unlike the other two, this time I did not tell myself "This is a dream, it is not real" and wake up. This time we walked, talked, held hands, held each other, and cried. We encountered other unknown people, in an unfamiliar setting, and I was the only one who could see her. This one was not disturbing, but rather comforting. Is there any coincidence that today marks the day I brought her home from MD Anderson 2 years ago and started hospice? Maybe a message that all is fine?

All is fine.


(next time you're down here and don't have beers with me though...)

I think that part of you feels bad for moving on. It's normal. Maybe this is her way of telling you that it's okay.

B-1 83, I lost my father at the end of January last year. Over the course of time from then to now, I have had dreams kind of like what you describe. It was only in the last couple of months that the dreams became more comforting and allowed me to "talk" with him.

I'm sorry for your loss, and I believe that this is part of the healing process that is acceptance. Loved ones that have passed will always be with you, and I firmly believe they try to communicate through your dreams.

I think you already interpreted it for yourself.

This is what I thought too. Our brains have their own way of dealing with stress, loss, anger, etc while we are asleep. If it was comforting, that should be helpful for the healing and moving on process.

She is with you.
She knows you miss her.
Thanks for sharing.

If you were comforted by it, allow yourself to be comforted.

Fonz.
