Firstly, sorry for the name change, Mnet is a great place so we suggest it to our friends then realise we can't share stuff like this anonymously anymore!
I lost a good friend a few months ago, we hadn't been as close as we had once been over the past few years but I still regarded him as one of my best mates.
I thought I handled it very well at the time, shed a few tears but other than that got on with the busy life that 2 kids gives you. Dh was very sympathetic at the time but also thinks I'm 'over' it so I can't really talk to him about it (he's bery stressed at work at the moment too).
Recently I've been having these distressing dreams almost every night. they are almost always the same sort of thing. In the dreams it turns out that my friend's partner lied to me and my friend isn't really dead. This happens in a variety of ways e.g. we meet at a party or he rings up out of the blue. I know it sounds silly but they're really upsetting me. I wake up thinking how much I'd love to talk to him again and then, as a result, spend all day feeling sad as I know I can't.
Why has this suddenly started up? What on earth can I do? I don't want to spend the rest of my life feeling like a pile of poo. Any advice would be brilliant. Thanks so much.
