Emilee's Dreams
I don't think I posted about Emilee's dreams on here before and since I am too lazy to search through all of my entries, I will just tell you about them now.
My daughter Emilee is almost 7 (she'll be 7 in May). Towards the end of last year (starting around mid November) she started having nightmares. All of her nightmares involved some sort of death. Some incidents were a plane crashing into the daycare, being eaten by dinosaurs or giants, snakes, bats, our home exploding, someone breaking in and killing all of us, etc. You get the idea. These dreams PLAGUED my daughter for about 8 weeks. She was miserable, she couldn't sleep and she didn't want to. She was scared to sleep because she was afraid of the dream that she would have if she went to sleep.
I tried several things. I made 'Bad Dream Spray' (with glitter and body spray) and let her spray her bed down with it before going to sleep. Nothing. We got her a 'Dream Catcher', told her the story behind it. Nothing. I tried talking to her, let her talk to her counselor. Nothing. Again, you get the idea. Every night was a fight. Every night she would cry and say she didn't want to sleep. She would wake up in the middle of the night crying. I had no idea what to do.
Then Veronique died. I really thought that this would make it worse. I thought for sure that now that something her dreams were relating to had happened it would only make things worse. Death could happen to someone she loved. I was wrong. The dreams have completely stopped. I'm talking, this kid had bad dreams the night before Veronique died and has had nothing since!
Isn't that a little weird?

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
