Nightmares...

Two extremely intense nightmares within the span of an hour...

The first one, I saw myself sobbing. The intensity was beyond words... I lay on the floor of my own apartment alone, huddled together like a wounded animal. I howled and cried, reached out into emptiness for comfort and solace. I was missing mum, missing dad. The intensity was simply beyond words.

How loss kills you... How loss affects you so deeply and robs you of joy, of the ability to muster strength and energy in the face of difficulties. How loss isolates you and puts you out of reach and the comprehension of people...

The next dream, I saw my cat. She was looking so sordid and sorry. A large patch of her normally black and beautiful coat had been bitten away. She was bleeding. She was suffering and moaning. I cried and tried to touch her, tried to comfort her, but she growled at me instead. She did not want to be touched. She was fatally wounded and dying...
