I made a heart-felt request just prior to going to sleep where I asked to see my mother in my dream. The following night, I dreamed that my mother lovingly approached me and conversation between us then ensued. She reminded me that she would be with me always and that although she knew how much I missed her, she did not miss me because she was in fact still with me. Although grieving over a lost loved one can actually provide a sort of therapy, i.e. crying and talking about the grief, I believe that in time we must endeavor to let go of the grief and move on with our lives. That is certainly not to say that we forget our loved ones, but rather carry on with our lives while always keeping them with us in our hearts.
Emotion is a very strong thing.
If you believe that your loved ones are aware of what is going on with you and others, they in turn will feel your grief, which may hinder their natural growth. Still, many tears were to come and many questions as to why she had to go, but I have managed to let her move on simply by allowing myself to do the same. Fortunately, I have always let the written word be an outlet for my feelings. Keeping a journal of your thoughts on the death of your loved one, writing poetry, and even writing letters to your loved one can provide an amazing dose of comfort. Even if writing is not your forte, there is something about the very process that can validate and even mend your grief.
