I have been BEGGING my son to please come and let me see him one more time…He died very suddenly and I feel so guilty. He was severely handicapped and I cared for him at home 24/7 He had a trach, gtube, and needed total care… I just need to have him tell me he is OK
this happened to me on Christmas 2010, i had a dream and it was very real.
thank you. my husband has been switching the lights on and off and i instinctively knew it was him. i haven’t told anyone about it for fear that they would think i was crazy. the other day it happened while a friend was here and he realized that in fact i am not mad! i love it when my late husband reminds me that he is still with me and our son, it brings enormous comfort and a feeling of safety to me. i feel so priveliged that in spite of this tragedy we are still able to communicate.
We lost our handicapped daughter Alyssa on February 11th it was very sudden and unexpected as we thought she was recovering nicely after a bout of pneumonia,I was also her soul care giver, she is my heart and soul and there for I can not get past the guilt of not being with her when she passed. Alyssa came to her twin sister and comforted her by hugging her and stroking her hair, she did this also with my granddaughter, she came to my husband in a dream, as for me, she lightly rubbed my shoulder and I believe i saw her walking hand in hand with a deceased relative. But what I want is for her to say mom I’m ok , it’s not your fault,I want to see her walk and talk and do all the things she couldn’t do here with a body that didn’t work.I feel so selfish for wanting more, I feel very lost.
Nina,
My heart aches for you. I too lost my daughter who had a disability last April. I miss her so much, and like you she was my heart and soul. I took care of her for 34 yrs and I can’t get past the pain I feel that she is no longer with us. She was in the hospital for 7 weeks with a terrible respiratory illness, most of it in ICU, with a family member by her bedside or in the ICU waiting room wanting to visit her . She has only come to me in my dreams a few times, but there are other experiences where I know she is watching over us. One of the dreams was similar to yours, as she was walking hand in hand with someone….I believe it was Jesus but it was unclear who it was. She was so clear and so beautiful I tried to force myself to stay asleep to watch them longer. I miss everything about my daughter….I want to see her smile, touch her face, hear her voice, feel her kisses again. I live every day knowing that I’m one day closer to being with her again. I know you will have many hard weeks/months coming up and I’ll be thinking of you. Jo
Mary,
I didn’t see your post until after I sent a reply to Nina. All of my comments I would like to pass along to you as well. Losing a child is so difficult, and losing one that we care with such devotion makes our loss unique . In the early days after my daughter passed, I read so many books about losing a child, death, heaven, etc. It kept me from losing my mind I think. I also went to counseling, wrote in my journal (still do that), write things I don’t want to forget about my daughter, and had the best friend you can imagine help me almost on a daily basis for weeks. Maybe some of these suggestions will help you and Nina as well. My pain is still deep almost a year later, but at least I’m functioning better and not spending the whole day distraught and crying. You are in my thoughts as well. Jo
I also had a dream soon after my son passed away. I asked him all those questions that you wonder about and worry about. Like was he in pain in the end. He told me he wasn’t. It was such a real dream that I awoke feeling comforted. I have begged and prayed for him to come to me in a dream again but it hasn’t happened since that first time. But I feel so fortunate to have had that one dream. I get different type of signs. My cat Gizmo was actually my sons cat. She loved him so much and would only tolerate me. There are times when things are perfectly calm around here and she will jump up and run as fast as she can across the house and back. Doing this twice. It made me wonder if she could see my son. Also, I find feathers a lot. I am told that is a sign but I don’t know. The only thing I know with 100% certainty, is that my son did come and visit me in my dream. I will never forget that as long as I live.
i lost my daughter 9 months ago to cancer very sudden ,it came as a headache the next moment she died of a brain tumor.she comes a lot in my dreams and show me she is ok . we got a dog after her death and i promise you the most unexplainable things happens with this dog that looks like she is still with and comforts us every day
