[quote=Anonymous]My mom is in the 70s, lives with us. Every morning, she has these long conversations about the dreams she had during the night, usually includes with her parents and one of her brothers who has passed away. Her brother passed away 10 years ago and her parents 15-20 years ago. she goes into great details about the dreams, what she said to them, what they said to her, She also says that she's happy in her dreams because that's when she's gets to hang out with her parents, brother and a couple of relatives that have passed away. She has a large extended family that she's in contact who and has connections with. I'm sympathetic but must admit, hearing about these dreams on a daily basis is quite depressing. I told her that perhaps we could do something in their memory so that we are celebrating their life and not focusing on their death all the time. She doesn't feel like there's anything to celebrate and goes on about how much she misses them and would like to just spend a few hours with them. Is this common? [/quote]
