I had a dream involving my mom about six months to the day after she died. She had a rare form of cancer that couldn't be detected until it was too late. But she had a friend with her when she died that held her hand as she slipped away and on a personal note, this woman is so much stronger than I ever could have been. I couldn't have done it.
I had several dreams about her beforehand, but this one was by far the most real. I was a spectator and for once, I got to hug her after she gave me some encouraging words and that was it. But I guess you could say it's because I never really got over her death or really faced it. She's been gone for five years on August 14th and I'm still not over it.
Now please don't get me wrong, I try to be strong for other people but I'm no where near as good or wise as she was. It just seems that she had all the answers whenever you needed them and no matter what was wrong, hell, she had an answer for. But the dream was not only comforting but also kind of a slap in the face. I think that perhaps overall I let most of it go because I haven't had another dream in over four years, but the the dreams of seeing lost loved ones just prompted me to ask the question.
Apologies if I got sidetracked on my own thread. I was just reminiscing . I guess I just feel that even now the people are watching over us.
