I lost my daugther almost 2 years ago and I haven't had very many dreams of her,even though I pray every night for them...but I have had several where she doesn't know who I am. She could look right at me and not have any idea who I was. I was just another person to her. A stranger. What does this mean? Does it mean she won't know me when it's my time? Am I looking too much into this?

Please if anyone has had these same dreams help me to understand them. These dreams scare me. I'm thinking how can my child not know who I am?

These dreams are very painful for me.

Lisa, thank you so much. That kind of does make sense. Yes I do fear that. I keep pictures of Jessica in every room in the house..on the fridge..everywhere. I am constantly looking at them. So terrified I'm going to forget her beauty. How she sounded..how her soft her skin was how she wore her hair..make up or whatever it may be. I know I'll never forget either. It's so sad that not only do we have to endure the pain everyday that they are gone but now we have all these new things to endure.

I'm so sorry for your loss and I pray that you are finding peace. I wish I could.

Thank you and God Bless

Hugs,

Julie

Julie, I think I can help.  I lost my Roxanne just 11 weeks ago and have been plagued by nightmares and crazy dreams.  I have not experienced dreams like this one but I think I know what it might mean.  My counselor told me that dreams are often our mind's way of sorting out fears and emotions that we try to hide from.  Perhaps what you are really afraid of is not that Jessica won't know you but that you will somehow forget her.  I know that I struggle with that fear myself, that somehow I'll forget my daughter even though I KNOW I never will.  Meditate on this and see what you come up with.

 

Hope that it helps.

My mom died 4 months ago

My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
