The 18th marked two weeks since my sweetheart succumbed to the illnesses that held him hostage. I didn't mark it with any dainty little tears, but uncontrollable sobs.
However, this morning I woke after a dream. He and I were sitting outside having a very frank discussion about his wishes and expectations for me. He was giving me guidance and advice. It brought me so much peace and comfort.
I hope everyone else going through this horrible time gets to experience something similar.
I am so thankful you had a Dream Visit from your sweetheart. Such visits are a treasure... you have been truly blessed. l too have been blessed by such visits... l found myself changed forever. Sending hugs... Granni B
Oh I wish I would have one as well xxx. You are both blessed xxxx
I was upset it took this long to see him in my dreams. Hang in there, these things happen when you least expect it.
Yvonne, I do hope George surprises you soon. When l told my younger son that l would try to visit him after my death, he rolled his eyes and said, "And how will you find me?" I laughed and answered, "l don't know... l do get lost a lot."
I don't think they give out maps on the other side & l don't think there are watches or calendars. . . So relax and give George time. . . And find comfort in the love you share. Sending gentle hugs... Granni B
Oh dear let’s hope xxxx
Yvonne one of my favorite books has a quote in it... "Go out and make a miracle today. God's busy, he can' do it all." Mrs. Goldberg

I see miracles on this site almost everday. I just have to say, 'You All Inspire My Soul! Thank You.' Sharing info, sharing encouragement and gifting items when no longer needed.
Love You All... Granni B
Be still Yvonne, it may happen yet.

I envy you, greely...I rarely remember a dream and don’t recall any in the 6 mos since he died - nor have I ever felt a “presence”...it is truly the most empty, bereft, silent experience of my life.

I am so sorry for your pain, Anne. I think I only remember my dreams because I tend to wake up after each one.

If you are like me, Anne, you will have wonderful memories to treasure, they are priceless and will stay with us until it's our time to go. Memories last forever, dreams are fleeting, so don't be sad that he has not appeared in your dreams, instead just tap into all the good memories. My daughter said she has dreamed of her dad several times and in those dreams he wasn't ill but the lively, fun loving, wonderful dad that she remembers before PSP moved in - I said to her that's just the way me should all remember him, not what the illness did to him. Keep smiling Anne. Best wishes, Hils. X

You two were obviously so close, all your traditions with starbucks.....so sorry for the emptiness you're feeling.
Hi C! Nice to hear from you. Thank you. I've taken a little trip to Tucson where we often spent winter time. I suppose that's why I'm more sad, as its brought a rush of emotions. But it's something I felt I needed to do. And now to aquafit! 😊
Hope hubby is managing... Think of you four often. XXX

Hi I lost my mum to CBD on 28.12.18 she was only 66 😢. She suffered for 6 years it has been painful to watch. However , I just keep telling myself she is free now. I have dreamt about mum nearly every night. Some have been of when she was younger and some older. They are so vivid. Xx
My beloved Don has been gone for 1 1/2 yrs now and has appeared to me in dreams about 3 times. It is indeed a blessing and a comfort to have those visits from him.
Greelycat,
My day is the 16th of the month. It was 7 months on the 16th of this month when my beloved left this world. I never would have thought that that day of the month would have and will have in terms of significance to me.
I’m glad that you received guidance about his wishes and expectations. My wife recognizing her imminent demise about 9 months prior to her passing and because she could barley communicate at that time, she told me her final wishes. It was painful at the time, but as you said, there was peace and comfort after her passing knowing what she wanted.
I’m glad that you are still active on the site. I look over the daily briefings, but find that I only respond to a few like this one where they spark a desire to respond. It is painful to welcome new caregivers to this site as it breaks my heart the continuing new diagnoses of this cruel disease, but know how much it had helped me.
Prayers of continued healing as you progress through this time of your life.
Bobby
