Dreams of my mom

It's been almost four years since losing my mom. Sometimes the pain is less. Sometimes it increases. I miss her more and now I dream of her often. Last night, I dreamed she was smiling and telling us (my sister, my brother and myself) how proud she was of us and how everyone told us what a great job she did at raising us. We were so happy she was alive and neither of us would dare tell her we thought she was dead. I woke up and said I can't believe it. She really isn't dead. Then I really woke up and realized I was dreaming.
Sometimes, I curly over and cry outloud from missing her.
It's so hard.
Thanks for listening.

Sending you lots of extra hugs.


You mention thinking more about your Mom recently and it is natural that dreaming will follow. All of your happy memories follow you into sleep. It is difficult when the dreams feel so real and shedding some tears is not unusual.


My own Mom died just 2 years ago and I still find myself reaching for the phone to tell her things.

What a lovely dream of your mom. I am sure that your mom is looking down at you and your siblings with a huge smile and yes she must be very proud of you all. You keep remembering the good memories of her and keep dreaming sweet dreams of your dear mom. May the good memories , help you with your pain and sorrow.

I lost my mom 2 years ago and I miss her terribly. In the two years that she has been gone so many things have happened and I wished so much that she could of been here with us. So.....I just remember, talk, look at pictures and her video which she made when she was about 91 years old and talked about her life as a child till her 90th day. This is the most precious gift to me, my siblings and to all of her grandchildren. This is a great memory and when I really miss her, I put this video on, where I can see and hear her voice again.

So, you reminise and talk about her and keep her alive in your thoughts and in your heart. She will always be with you in spirit.

Love,
Miriam

I lost Mama almost 6 years ago...and I wish I dreamed of her. I don't, or at least, I don't remember if I do.


Thank you for reminding us that grief burst happen even after time has passed.
