Ghost stories

[RjThoughts]

We've been at home and something walks between us, but he doesn't see it. Only I see it. He's had other people say the same thing. He just can't see it. It's almost sad in a way but the little girl was creepy and sad. I wish I hadn't seen her.

My old roommate saw my ghosts - while I wasnt home. I'd think I'm crazy, but enough other people have seen them in the same places as where I've seen them.

You're not crazy. Not everyone sees ghosts.

True. Young children and animals seem to be very sensitive to their presence. When I talk about paranormal investigation, most people look at me like I am nuts!

We had a visitor last night during dinner. Someone walked between the boyfriend and me (while we sat at the table) and stood behind his shoulder - watching me.

I didn't get the sense that it was one of my parents. I felt like it might have been his late wife.

Did that unnerve you or was the visit something that felt okay?

It felt okay. I didn't sense any threat at all. If anything, it left me feeling peaceful.

We joke that his wife and my parents met in heaven and set about to do some matchmaking. Maybe that's not so big a stretch.

 

[RjThoughts]

I'd say the matchmaking is plausible.

We're definitely a perfect match. He's everything I need in a partner, and he says he feels the same way. I had trust issues because of my abusive first marriage, and he somehow chiseled away at that wall until it crumbled down. I tell him that I feel like he took me apart in little pieces, fixed me, and put me together again. Whole. Complete.

He's been absolutely amazing during my illness. If I can't sleep because I'm hurting, he sits by the bed and plays guitar and sings to me till I fall asleep. I couldn't ask for anyone more supportive.

If they did try their hands at heavenly matchmaking, they did an incredible job. Thank you Mom and Pamela.

Keep a hold on him, he seems to be what you need

Now if I tried to sing my wife to sleep, she'd break that guitar over my head LOL I just have to cuddle her when she's hurting then she drifts off to sleep

 

[BeachMomma]

Hahaha! Maybe you should make up stories for her instead!

I tried the stories, but that only made her stay awake. Holding her does the trick.

I had a panic attack Saturday not long after I fell asleep. I'd had a very rough day at work. A pt had a PTSD attack and he was punching at anything he could. Fists flew everywhere and I had visions of him putting my head thru the wall. I was terrified but I calmed him down. I shook all day long. The entire 13+ hour shift. I told the boyfriend about it, but we didn't really have time to talk it out. Almost as soon as I went to sleep I had a PTSD attack myself. Violence really triggers a response because of the abuse I suffered in my first marriage.

When the boyfriend woke me up, I was crying and shaking uncontrollably. I haven't been able to sleep more than an hour or two a night since then. The boyfriend was just incredible. He held me and kept telling me he was there and I wasnt alone. I can't imagine how tough it must be for him to have to fight my demons and to just stand by helplessly knowing that I'm hurting and scared. Hes asked me a few times today if I feel safe. I've only felt safe when he's here with me. I avoided other people today while he was at work. I just didn't feel strong enough to be around anybody. Once he got home I was fine. Well maybe not fine, but I could handle being in public.

I have to go to work in a couple of hours. I hope it goes without incident and exhausts me enough that I can sleep. I haven't slept more than four hours total since 0600 Saturday.
