Grief: When Loss Visits Our Dreams

When you lose a loved one, you miss everything about them. Particularly their presence. When loss visits you in your dreams, it can feel overwhelmingly beautiful. I want to honor the painful moments of grief and loss by highlighting the beautiful ones. When my late son visits me in my dreams it is so special. I feel peace, joy, love, and comfort. When I wake I am reminded about how lucky I was to ever have had him in my life. My hope is that this poem gives you the same comfort for your loved one.

Transcript

I had a dream about you last night.

I thought it was real.

I felt you here,

But you're nowhere near.

I had a dream about you last night.

The nightmare had faded.

We were so happy and elated.

My whole world was elevated.

I had a dream last night that death was no more.

We passed through a door.

I felt you,

Me amor.

The dream I had last night was just that.

A dream.

I awoke to my reality.

I know you are gone,

But your soul lives on.

And it visits me in my dreams.

Please come again soon.

I'll be over the moon and eagerly waiting to say again that I had a dream about you last night.
