Those who have survived suicide attempts have said that in the grips of their pain that they cannot imagine that their loved ones would not be better off without them. While this is obviously not true, it is what they believe...I have spoken with those who have survived suicide. They are not thinking of the aftermath of their death.
The devastation of a successful suicide attempt is far-reaching, long-lasting and life-changing. Those left behind have shattered lives that will never be the same and can never be put back to the way it was before their loved one left this world. The pieces never fit back the way they were before the loved one left.
For our family, there is no recovery, only survival. My daughter-in-law, Kelly, who loved Tiffany like the sister she never had, found moving on almost impossible. I often wondered if she would make it through the jungle of grief intact. And then one day, one of her dearest wishes came true - the wish that Tiffany would appear to her in a dream...
"I remember walking into this strange place that didn't have a lot of detail to it - like I wouldn't say it was outside or inside. It was strange. Then all the sudden I saw Tiffany in this beautiful black dress. She looked so happy and I ran to her and hugged her and she hugged me back so tight that I could swear when I woke up that I could still feel it. I said "Where have you been?" and her only response was "All my relatives keep asking me that."
Then she was in a hurry and ran to get these trophies. I remember there were a few trophies on this table and she grabbed one and said that she had to go welcome someone new. I didn't know if this could possibly mean like a new baby on the way or if someone had passed on and she was welcoming them.
She came back with the trophy in a new beautiful dress that was blue (similar to the color at Troy's and my wedding). Then she was off again and in a hurry but the thing I remember the most is how happy she seemed and content. After that I immediately woke up which was weird because a lot of times you dream things and can't remember them or have so many dreams that makes it a little hard to recall them but I woke up right afterwards and remembered it all. It wasn't a long dream but it was perfect."
8 Characteristics of True Visitations Dreams:
- The most important characteristic of a true visitation dream is that it feels “real.” It will also be very vivid.
- If you have to ask whether the visitation dream was really a visitation dream, then it probably was NOT a visitation dream. They are so real and vivid that you won’t have to ask this question. When you do have a visitation dream, you may wonder if it was truly real; but in your heart or gut, you will “know” it was real.
- Because they are so real and so vivid, you will remember visitation dreams very clearly for days, months, years . . . probably for your entire lifetime!
- The person will almost always appear in the dream to be completely healthy and behaving in a loving manner. They will rarely appear sick or injured. They will never be angry, disappointed, depressed, or punishing. They will be “whole, complete, and perfect” because they are now reconnected with God/Source energy.
- Whether or not they speak to you verbally in the dream, they will communicate very clearly.
- When they do communicate (either verbally or non-verbally), it isn’t because they want to engage in idle “chit-chat.” It isn’t easy for deceased loves ones to enter a dream. They come with a purpose, and they will convey the message and then be gone.
- Most often, their messages fall into the category of “reassurance.” They come to let you know that they are fine and that they want you to be happy. Occasionally, they will come with a warning; however, when giving a warning, they will give you loving support and you will feel reassured by their presence.
- After a visitation dream, when you wake up, you will often be filled with a sense of peace and love.
