Not dead!

I so often have this dream, since my husband passed away last September, and I dreamed it again last night.

In my dream, my husband, Mike, dies. We prepare for his funeral, but he wakes up. But then he dies again. We have the funeral. Bury him. But I worry that we might have buried him alive.

He comes to me after the burial and we continue to live our lives. I am concerned that everyone else believes he is dead. I am frustrated by it. I realize that if I attempt to show them that Mike is alive, he will die again… He dies again, over and over in other people’s eyes. But he lives, standing right next to me.

Do you think he is trying to send me a message? I do. I have finally come to accept his message, with gratitude.

As a toddler, Sue Baumgardner made up stories for herself looking at books she could not read and later spun tales for her younger sisters. After she had her own children, she told them tales and eventually wove a new pattern into the fabric of their lives. As the three sat together, one would begin with a story idea of her own. She spoke perhaps a paragraph or two or three, then pointed to the next who would take up the thread and continue with her own evolution of the story line passed to her, until she pointed to the next. The third person wove her own ideas into the story progression. After the three each had a turn, anyone could end the story, in their turn, whenever it felt complete to them. After her children were adults, Sue studied writing, first poetry and then prose. After six semesters in adult education, she was thoroughly hooked on the story art form. Sue continued with dozens of classes, seminars and writing retreats. She studied writing and publishing under the likes of James Patterson, Peter Behrens, and Mark Dawson. As a contributor to the Discover Maine Magazine, Sue received her first check for her prose. Her poetry has been published in The Aurorian. She has six of her paperbacks along with four ebooks published. They include fiction and nonfiction for adults and fiction for Middle Readers. Her very first publishing though began with Greeting Card Universe, where Sue’s greeting cards with verse are sold across the world.
