This morning I had a very disturbing dream about my parents. I think the only part of the whole thing that was upsetting was waking up to find that it was just that, a dream, but nevertheless, it was upsetting and it knocked me off kilter the whole day. I guess I was to expect it. My mom's birthday was the 10th and she died the 17th of this month a year ago. Needless to say, she and Dad have really been in my head a lot lately.

I'm not for sure how the dream started out but they came back to me. They were about 20 years younger, Mom could walk and Dad looked great like always. I remember asking them questions about how long they were going to stay and why they came back. Why did they leave me and why did Dad fall down the stairs that night. They answered those questions but I don't remember the answers to them. The only things I remember is they said it is great up in heaven and they love it there and are fine.

I woke up and I was alone. I cried for a while and felt horrible inside. The hurt came back up again like it was just yesterday. They were right there with me and then I had to wake up and they left me again.

Days like this, I wish I could just stay asleep for the day and keep them with me a while longer.

What a bittersweet gift, Snickers.
Thanks for sharing.

I'm so sorry this dream has brought you so much pain.
And, yes, it's understandable you would have them so much on your mind right now.
I almost never remember my own dreams so I have very little experience interpreting them, but, that said, perhaps they visitied you in your dreams to reassure you that all has worked out for the best for them and they are whole and happy and together again.

((((((((((hugs))))))))))

Sweetie, I am so sorry for the pain you are in. You know your parents are well and happy where they are but it is really for ourselves that we grieve. I know that feeling of being left behind and being alone. Just hang in there sweetie, I'm on my way.
