Monique -
First of all, as everyone else stated, I am truly sorry for your loss.
My father passed away my junior year in high school. This May will be 3 years.
I dream of nothing else but him. The dreams are never really sad dreams, but rather just him coming to visit me and talk to me. Everytime, we are both aware that he is not alive and can't stay, but we catch up on my life and then he will hug and kiss me and leave until the next time. I have actually come to find these dreams to be extremely comforting.
I have also had experiences where I would walk past the chair he always sat in in our living room and felt something tugging at me and pulling me back, but I would be alone in the room. He knows I'm scary, so I doubt he would ever "show up" while I'm awake, if this is even possible.
But I often hear him say things to me as clearly as if he was right beside me, at exactly the right times.
Although the circumstance is one of tragedy, I am so glad you posted this topic. I've been thinking about this *a lot* lately. Stay encouraged - you'll never get over it but it DOES get easier, I promise. E-mail me if you would like.
