Blue, what you are going through is normal. The initial shock of your mom's death is fading and the reality of your loss is setting in. That being said, I just want to mention that what you are hearing and what you are dreaming may very well be manifestations of the energy left from mom. I don't want to get into a wacky metaphysical debate on this at a time like this but I do believe that in life we leave imprints of our energy on the environment where we lived and the people we were close to. When we die we leave behind a memory if you will or part of our energy that comprises the spark of life or what some would consider the human soul. Now is that energy or memory a conscious energy, no one really knows but I believe it is.Blue Frost wrote: ↑August 13th, 2021, 11:56 amAnother last night, not a dream, but I hear the floor creaking, or something, and think for a moment shes getting up from bed.Mel Gibson wrote: ↑August 13th, 2021, 2:13 am Blue, you'll have dreams where she's still alive for some time. I did also. I would sit up in my bed, and it would take me a minute to realize that things were different now.
It's a bit painful after I realize.
It's really hard dealing with that as you know, and hard on the heart.
A nice way of dealing with what you are experiencing is the concept that the dreams and noises you are experiencing are actually your mom. She is hanging around you to make sure rhat you are okay and that you get through this trial intact. It is what she did in life and I like to think that she would do it in the afterlife as well....For those of us that take our parental responsibility seriously, it never stops. Not even death can erase a parents love and concern for their child.. When she is satisfied that you are going to be okay, she will move on to her appointed place on whatever plain of existence fate has in store for her. I believe this and it will happen for all of us.
