Daughter Dream
Another daughter dream. This one the terminal cancer was gone. She was cured. I felt joy like I can not explain with tears of happiness streaming down my face then I woke and knew it was only a dream.
Some days are just so hard but I put one foot in front of other on the road to sobriety. Her birthday is in a couple days and she would have been 29 so a lot of emotions are being churned back up.
I know there will always be grief but I just wish this super intense stuff would go away

I truly feel sorry for ya and honestly wish there was something more I could do for ya other than pray. You have been a tremendous inspiration for me and others here through this. Through it all, drinking hasn't been brought up as an option( at least I haven't read it anywhere). That there is a miracle in itself.
I will be praying for you my friend.

MIRecovery, the anniversary of my Son's death from cancer is fast approaching, so I can identify with your pain and grief.
I don't think I will ever be the same, and I don't think this horrible pain deep in my soul will ever go away.
It is such a devastating thing; how does one ever recover from it?
I am so sorry you are experiencing so much sadness, and I offer my deepest condolences to you.
I will say that staying or getting sober during such an emotional, gut wrenching ordeal is an accomplishment though......at least we have that.

I don't believe you get over it. The hole left does not get filled you just get better at dealing with the loss.
I have started having a few good days here and there so I know the worst is coming to an end.
About the only thing I know for sure is drinking would have made a horrible situation worse.
Prayers going out to those that have lost a loved one

When the family chain is broken
Nothing seems the same
But as God takes us one by one
The chain will link again

MIRecovery,
It must be so very hard to wake and feel the pain these dreams bring.
My heart goes out to you, and I think you are one of the bravest fathers ever. Your daughter would be so happy to know (and I believe she does know) that you are staying sober on this journey.
hold on to the beautiful things...
