How long did I actually feel happy today?
in Psychology ·
I lost my dad just twelve days ago, and honestly, I don't even want to get into the sheer weight of the grief and that hollow feeling in my chest that hasn't let up for a second. But then, on that first Sunday, I dreamed about him—he was wishing me a happy birthday and handing me this gorgeous, pink rose. When I woke up, I was actually floating; the whole day felt different, almost magical. Then this past Sunday, he showed up in my dream again, looking at me and saying, "Hey there, kiddo, you have no idea how much easier it is for me now... I can finally breathe." Waking up this morning, I felt this incredible sense of peace, and the whole day has just had this amazing, positive energy surrounding it.
Maybe this is a bit off-topic for this thread, but I just had to get it out there. It really feels like my dad is sending me a sign to stop mourning and just start living again.
