Hey Lexicon -- I am so sorry about your mom. My mom also died from cancer. You said you were in therapy -- have you also considered grief counseling or a grief support group? You are understandably in a lot of pain and need some support. The net and the phone are great, but having some professional guidance through the grief process has helped a lot of people.

My mom died when I was 15 and I'm 35 now. I still have VERY realistic dreams where she comes back and talks to me about stuff. I don't really believe in afterlife or heaven or anything like that, but these dreams are SO realistic that I just have to wonder about how it could happen -- doesn't seem like just another dream. It's seriously comforting and I wake up with a weird kind of peace. So, give it some time -- hopefully your mom will come back to you in your dreams as well.
