My Dream Of The Death Of A Loved One

My Dream Of The Death Of A Loved One

I had a dream, or rather a nightmare... of my loved one leaving me and returning back in the form of a ghost to accompany me just for a day... It was incredibly real with all my friends around me and even that I myself knew that it was real... In the dream, I tried to convince myself that everything was unreal and soon things will be well...

But no matter how much time passed, everything still remains as it was... No one was able to feel my pain, my broken heart, my loss of a loved one... When the scenario changed to that of a funeral, I saw right before my eyes the photo and the coffin of my love... Refusing to believe my eyes, I gathered all my courage to look into the coffin...

Till now, I can never forget the kind of pain, loss and heartbroke feeling... It felt like someone hitting me on the head and at the same time, a knife stabbing through my heart... I woke up in shock, traumatized and shaking with sweat and tears...

I couldn't confirm it was a dream or it was real... The only thing I did was to msg my dear to ensure that he was well and alive in the wee hours of 2am... Thankfully, everything was just a dream...

The impact of the dream was huge... it affected me for a few weeks and even till today, I can still feel the pain whenever I see something similar to my dream...

And then finally it hit me... This is how it will feel like if I will to lose my loved one..
Parents have been with us for at least 2 decades and we all know deep in our heart that they will leave earlier than us...

But not our loved ones, our partners ... They are supposed to be with us, accompany us throughout...
What will happen if your life partner just suddenly depart from this world after spending a decade with you?

I guess that's why depression can set in, illness can occur... because the emotional pain is too much to bear for anyone... I had a feel of what's it like in my dream... Mind you, it's just a dream and even though I still feel it now and then, it's probably just 10% of the real thing...

There is no way to avoid death... The only method is to accept that this is a fact that will happen to everyone... Every single day, someone's loved one dies.. Imagine the pain that they go through...

Treasure every single moment with your loved one and do not take it for granted... You never know when it will end... Maybe 10 yrs, 1 yr, 1 month, 1 day or even 1 second...

I love you my dear and will treasure you as much as possible... Thanks for everything, you are the best thing that can ever happen to me... I love you...
