Everyone who is on here regularly is most likely rolling their eyes read my response. If you know my story and situation bare with me. I am still learning from my past two weeks. I have been battling an eating disorder, had surgery and I am recovery from both...When I woke up in tears in the recovery room, I knew it was for one reason only and I kept repeating it to myself. He kept me here, he kept me home for my babies. Then this fluid of emotion came rushing over me. I remember talking with someone while i was out and I am convinced god was with me(if it was god I cant remember the bodily features and what not, I just know there was someone with me). He sat with me while i was knocked out and explained to me he was using me to shake my hubby. He knew that I would be ok with it. My hubby is the bill maher to my life. He doesnt see religion as something we need. He sees it as something we all cling too. Those are my words not his. I am safe to put words in his mouth because it is an open discussion. I have the understanding doesnt like to be preached to. He knows not to use the lords name in vein in front of me. Anyways so I was so emotional when I woke up. My mom had been questioning her own mortality once she saw me so sick. We had been praying together and I was scared shitless to leave her. The first thing i could think of to tell her was that she need not worry about her time here. She was doing a great job and she had plenty of time. She didnt look at me when I told her this like a rambling idiot. It is like she too had had this happen to her before and she sat and she listened to me go on about the things I was recalling from being out. She encourage me to talk to cory about why god told me he was doing this in our lives right now. I was scared to do this because I didnt want to sound like i was blowing the preachers horn at him. As he has slip ups and the lords name will come out in anger i decided to bite the bullet. I never try and preach to him so i was going to make my move. God kept urging me to do so. After we talked cory looked at me and said you know what I can see this. The fact that he sat and nodded his way through our discussion and then told me he was not discounting what happened It was like my job was done. I said what he needed to know. I believe on every level that Yes, I have been extremely sick. Yes I should own it to some degree. I have also been able to turn a very fast corner with this so I can honestly say, although maybe driving my destructive cruise ship I am not the captain. My hubby got it. Now i know he is still a work in the mold. I told him if god needed to use me to get through to him I would have surgery or whatever illness it took. I am merely his tool.
My point is. write it down, sit them down send it to them. Tell them. let them know how much you love them. If anyone looks at you nuts, look at them and say sorry it may be morbid but my love ones need to know where my heart lies. This again is going to sound morbid, we live in a world of unsettling times. I am not saying have your burial things set out, have your heart set out. If you woke up this morning feeling you need to hold everyone a little tighter today do not be ashamed. That is why they are here. For you to wrap them up in your arms and love them. I am sure you have days you dont want to be touch or show feelings or you are having a bad day and need to be alone...so have days where you are head over heels for them. you dont have to make a big show just make sure you can get to each of you lovies by phone or in person and just let them know.
Dreams can give you hell. I had a dream probably twenty years ago. My mom and I were walking and some thugs came up ffrom behind us and that was it. To this day I can remember everything in my dream.I saw my mom taken from me. I was scared outta my mind when I woke up and have never had a dream that intense again. My mom and I have not always seen eye to eye. I was her trouble as a kid. I was the one that found every button you could push or break and did it. I look back now and I am so thankful my mom hung in there with me.
You are under alot of stress it sounds like, with your mom going into the hospital. You maybe internalizing it and your brain is over doing its thing when you sleep. I dont know how dreams work. I know when I am stressed out my dreams seem to move a bit more quick and in vivid color. You never remember the great dreams once you wake and the bad ones stick to you like glue.
Hugs to you!! dont be ashamed to tell the ones you love whats in your heart. I dont know your religious stand point, so if this is not you sorry..you are given each day as a gift. cherish them as if they are your last. You cant regret showing too much love you can regret not being able to tell them how you feel once you have lost the motion to speak! I hope your dreams get better from here!!
