One year and one month since my wife Jami passed. I can remember for about 9 months how I looked forward to nightime and going to sleep. At first it was the exhaustion from grief, but it changed to the desire to dream. Was never afraid of bad dreams. Even now the desire to dream is still there. We dream even when we're awake! Imagine that! Call it day dreaming if you want. The amazing thing is the dreams of both my wife Jami and my Mom have helped me to heal. So much is yet to be learned about our dreams. If you consider how serious and traumatic grief is, and then we dream of those that we miss so much and find so much assurance that we saw them, embraced them , and even spoke to and heard them....you just cant ask for more! We must cry....I still do! And we have to miss them badly. We are all part of this life, I guess while we're all here! Keep them in your lives in ways you believe in. You don't have to be asleep to dream...Dream away....Wishing you all peace
