Nightly Gathering
Open Thread Post 64
Welcome to the Nightly Gathering Post, where anybody arriving here can reach out for or give support. I keep this going even though for now the community is small. I remember back to those first weeks after Morgan died when I absolutely could not sleep for more than two hours at a time. That's when I realized a place like this was needed. Who could I text with or say things to in the middle of the night?
I sleep pretty well now. I think it changed as soon as I had my first dream with her in it. I was so relieved it was a good dream.
I don't need to write or talk in the middle of the night anymore, but this is here for when someone does. I just need to get the word out more.
I was thinking about your dream. My daughter had a dream wherein my late best friend (I have lost more than Troy) came to her after my grandson was born.
Her name was Sherrie, and she loved my kids like her own. Sherrie arrived all dressed elegantly in black. My daughter was holding my grandson and my granddaughter was by her side. My Granddaughter was trying to talk to Sherrie, tugging on her skirt and she told my daughter "Ryann, you have a beautiful family". Then she disappeared, and my daughter woke up.
We knew it truly was Sherrie and that is exactly what she would say.
The universe lets them pierce the veil to give us peace and hope.
