Hi Everyone...had the worst nightmare last night ...the details are fuzzy but the fear was real...does anyone else suffer with these....i actually woke up and am sure i could hear my neighbour consoling her dog,.telling her dog that it was alright....i'm sure i was screaming...feel awful and just don't want to do anything...my friend Ann passed 4 and half weeks ago and my only child moved out of home 2weeks ago and feel abandoned but know this is all part of grief...But the nightmare scared me and have to go to work today and of course its the last thing i want to do...

Best wishes to all of you

Hi Bea61

Nightmares are not unusual after bereavement and pretty horrible too! Please try not to dwell on it Bea, hard as it is. Although you didn't feel like work, it was actually the best thing to do.

I'm sure another member had a similar worry, hopefully they will post, keep checking {{{hugs}}}
