In reply to the discussion: My daughter died 20 years ago today. [View all]NJCher
(38,380 posts)32. well, here's what I think
It happens sometimes. She's different ages in these dreams. Sometimes I know she's dead, other times I don't until I wake up.
My experience is that this really is a contact from her to you.
I've heard from just about every being I know who has crossed over except for two. One was my aunt for whom I was her trustee and executor, and the other is a valued partner in social justice work I did for decades. Other than that, I have had contact with every being I was close to who has crossed over: all my animals, my mom, my dad, and very vividly my grandfather on my mother's side. Oh! And even a couple with whom I did business with decades ago!
People tell me, though, that there are varying abilities in being able to communicate. Obviously, at least to me, your daughter can do so via dreams.

and, I will add, the tip-off for me was when you said "other times I don't until I wake up." When they visit it is just like being with them because it is a form of being with them.

Your love for Bekah throbs in every word of your post. Take care of yourself. She'd want that. nt

How horrific. Barb. I am so sorry that she was taken from you like that. I can't imagine life
