These two things are not necessarily connected, unless you suspect them to be. Are you asking if they are connected, or are you asking what the connection could mean? Do you want them to be connected?

The news items are just filled with talks and films and photos of it! Even here at LL, we've had passing of some members and people are still passing through the news of it and processing.

Just now, I saw a news item on Yahoo about a place in Canada where the aboriginals have had a rash of suicides. People, just giving up. .... We NEED to be each-other's support, as much as possible. Be caring for one another, helping each other carry the weights that bow some down just way too low, down to the pit and the grave. {{ RIP}} And THAT starts with 'sharing' it outloud--- which always should be welcomed. How can we Help, when people don't know what's going on? ....

And I think it can feel rather ~creepy when people (who are skin-close to you-- like your spouse) tell you they just had a dream about YOU dying. ... Could it be prophetic?, is the question this begets.

It's a dream... And dreams can be soaked in Fears. Fear can be contagious, as it is a 'primal' emotion. We are all look into a Changing world right now. Everything is shifting. We want to cling to 'what we know' and are familiar with. We WANT that security in life, a level of predictability.

One of the best strategies is to 'find' your Center. Go back to your Center whenever you've found that you veered a bit off.

Like those old vinyl records? Items placed on the far-edge, have the scarier ride. Pull those reaching-arms of the-mind IN, towards that CenterPlace, and create and maintain (as much as possible) your atmosphere of Peace inside-there. Cultivate it as much as you can. Self Care is important.

You being Centered, will help your spouse regain mastery over whatever fear-mechanism is playing itself out right now.

YOU take care of you, gently. Patiently, and Lovingly. Make sure you look in the mirror, and give yourself a Hug, and say to your visage, that All Is Well inside you. It's going to be okay.

You are speaking truth to my heart.
I haven't really taken care of me in a long time.
I have been struggling to figure out or relearn how to do that.
It seems like an impossible feat but I know I have it in me to know exactly what I need.
I am overwhelmed by the world, and information, taking care of my 2 very young kiddos, etc.
My therapist has told me she thinks I'm an empth.
I'm certain it's true.
I have the strength and the knowledge but it's like I've lost something.
My MOJO, motivation, desire, I just don't know.
I have thought I have given up but still I trudge forward.
Trying to figure out what's going on with me.
Thank you so much!!!!!!

Oh, dear Angel, ShadowLost .. {{{ }}}

If you are an empath, then, you 'feel' my arms surrounding you, enfolding you, right now. Be at Peace

Thank you sooo much for sharing your feelings and how that's like for you right now. I too have felt that kind of overwhelm by the world when I was being a mother of two small children. (For me, I hadn't realized it at the time, but my husband was in the process of secretly dissipating marital and business assets, as it was in his plans to completely take over the business and cast myself and his two kids aside... which, he did, by Aug/Sept that year. I mention this TPDAY, because it's the anniversary of an event for me, which basically provided me with the strength and support I would need, spiritually and emotionally, in those next months. {I had a completely unexpected conversion experience in a lucid dream. I invited, in the dream, that Christ "fill up" my body-mind-soul. I woke up 'different'-- and never lost this.})

You mention in your OP (original post) that you have been having dreams about a person you haven't talked to in 10 years. You might wish to 'soak' in the atmosphere of 'what that was like for you'? What was it about this person? What did his presence again 'evoke' in you? Is it a piece of what you need to feel, right now, that is something that is 'missing' in your relationship with your husband that you might need to have a direct conversation about?

When I read your post, it broke my heart... (and that's a good thing!). I've been 'in that place' of really low self-esteem before, and I want you to know that (besides your feeling "exhausted" from taking care of two small kids... so, give yourself a LOT of Congratulations for 'being' and giving this Love to them), you CAN eventually feel better and better about yourself. YOU are Important. You are Loveable (and as Cherishable as you feel towards your wee-ones). And I understand how a person can know that 'intellectually' but not be feeling it fully inside.

Honestly and truly, You sound like you have A LOT "on the ball".... You have it together, you really really do. Know that this is present.

With you being a mum, and having those small children to care for, please know that the Angels have a Special Watching over you. You not-only have YOUR Angels, but their's are including YOU also.

There are 'special Graces' available for mommies.... YOU Are Loved! And you'll get through these years ahead with everything you'll need to do this with Good Success.

I thought of this song while I read your post.

The lyrics are from a poem by Agee...

KINDNESS must Watch for ME, on this Night.
All is Healed, All is Health.
Healing.... ALL Hearts Made WHOLE!

.... {{{{YOU Are Loved}}}}}.
