K so lately I have been having some very heart breaking dreams about my little butterfly angel. I was doing ok, but lately, I don't know what is going on. If you don't want to tell me about your dreams that's fine but please let me know if any of you are experiencing/experienced dreams that were heart breaking to you. Please reassure me that I'm not losing my mind....  |

I have had dreams about my baby too, some that were really really bad (like she was born alive and I threw her in a garbage can). I think that all of us who have lost a child have had some pretty disturbing dreams at one point or another. You're not crazy sweetie!

When I first lost Andrew I had bad dreams for a while. I would wake crying. You are normal. (((HUG)))

I have constant dreams about losing babies over and over again. Rather it be another stillbirth or miscarriage. I would say your definatly not losing your mind. (((hugs)))

I had such severe dreams the first three months after Alex died that I didn't sleep much for fear of having to face them. Slowly they went away and I only have them every so often now...usually when something triggers them. Like the other day I wore the same jacket I wore to Alex's funeral and there were still tissues in the pocket. It threw me back in time and I had a nightmare that night.
You're not crazy at all.

Missujailyn,
I'm so sorry to hear about your bad dreams. They are very upsetting and I want you to know you are not alone. Nor are you crazy!
I was released from the hospital the same day we lost Sydney. I came home, went straight to bed. At 7am the next morning my husband had to leave for work so he gave me my medication and went on to work. It was a very restless 4 hours in bed alone. I was crying a lot but I had managed to get back to sleep. I woke around 11 and I felt as if losing Sydney the night before was just a dream. I hopped out of bed telling myself "it was just a dream..just a nightmare" and ran down the stairs thinking I was still pregnant. When I got to the kitchen I saw the memory box the hospital had sent home with us. I fell to my knees crying. That probably was the worst feeling and my lowest point. My dreams now all consist of her in heaven. I see her growing. I see her smiling. I see her living. Something my pictures of her don't show.

Sorry that you have had bad dreams. I have actually found myself sleep walking by my son's nursery. I went back to bed and had a bad dream. I never actually saw my son's face but the dream was depressing.
By the way I am so happy that the message boards are up and running smoothly, it is nice to be back.

DO NOT think for one minute that you are not normal. We all have different fazes in our grieving processes, and all are totally normal. I didn't have a lot of dreams until the last month or two. I have dreamt that I was pregnant, or having another stillbirth.
Don't worry....and we are here anytime you want to share.
Joy
