I dream of my Nan every night

[waveafterwaveafterwave]

My Nan died last year, and I miss her terribly. She was the closest person in the world to me.

I wake up sad every day because she's always there in my dreams. Sometimes I wake up and forget she's dead.

Last night I dreamt that I was talking to her on the phone from the afterlife. I now feel sad that I will never speak to her on the phone again.

Has anyone else experienced this and how do you deal with it?

No advice on how to deal with this I'm afraid but I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry for your loss, and I hope it gets easier with time. I lost my grandad recently too.

It's a visitation. A lot of people see their deceased relatives in dreAms.
I meet up with my mum and quite often.

It's wish fulfilment.

As unsettling as my dreams of my late DH are, I'd give my right arm to have one.

I haven't dreamt of my parents or brother in years.

I envy you, OP.

All the time. Sometimes I think I can smell my Nan as well. I cry quite often because I miss her so much.

I've found I just have to roll with it...I spent too long trying to hold everything in and that's why 18 months on I feel like I've regressed with my grief. Try to take it as a comfort that you can picture her and remember her voice. Better to talk to her in your dreams than not at all I think.
