We will all always have dreams of those we love forever and those who loved and love us. The pain does ease.

Especially when we're in our golden years. But we do. The hole in your soul never goes away. At best, we just learn to live with it.
Blessings.

from our loved ones no longer on the earthly plane, but still watching over us. Their spirits are still with you.

My Mom has been gone since 2008, and I still have dreams with her in them.

and she's been gone 27 years. It's just part of you. Still grieving my brother (2022) and my best friend (2024).

Massive brain bleed stroke on the 23rd. Brain activity ceased evening of the 23rd. She was Do Not Resucitate. On 2:15pm of the 24th, I requested life support removal. My 24 year old son and I were holding her hands, talking to her and weeping. At 2:35 her breathing got shallow and her eyes opened just wide enough to see her pupils and some of that beautiful blue with that “gaze into eternity”. At 2:41, she exhaled her last shallow breath, the monitors went completely flat. The nurse checked her breathing and pulse and said “2:41”. Her funeral is August 8th, followed by internment. I will deliver her eulogy. Grief subsides a bit, then hits you, almost knocking u over. Allow it to happen. Don’t try to tough it out. It’s normal. My healing thoughts go to all of you who have suffered a loss.

It was very much as you described. Your beautiful post brought me to tears and finally some smiles at her memory. Thank you.
