Hugged my Mum last night....

[NinePeedles]

Sadly, it was just a dream.
I was so relieved to see her, to hug and hug and hug her, then desperately not wanting her to go and leave me again.
But she did.
My Mum died 25 years ago.
I am crying and feeling very sad this morning, but still so grateful for that hug.

Oh lovely, those dreams are so emotional, aren't they? I had dreams after my mum died, that it was all a mistake and she hadn't died at all, woke up crying when I realised no, it was just a dream. She died 7 years ago, so not as long ago as your mum of course - but I still occasionally get them now.
Glad it was such a good dream x
(((hugs)))

I'd love to dream of my mum, I never have, and the only dreams I get of my dad arent good dreams, the opposite of what he was like

I'd love to dream of them

It was a bittersweet experience, really.
I was so pleased to see her and hug her, but her loss is very raw again now.
I never imagined crying for my Mum in my 50's.
Hope your Mum visits you in a dream soon ssd.
to you, and Thumbwitch, and everyone who has lost their Mum.

Of course the loss is raw again, even though it's a dream it has brought her back to life again in your mind. Let yourself grieve again, these feelings will pass

DM came to visit me regularly in my dreams and I certainly get how you are feeling, bittersweet is the right word - happy and heartbreaking at the same time. Funny though - when DF died I had one dream of them reunited and have never dreamt of either of them since. I get some peace from that.
