I am submerged in a freezing cold sea
With waves beating mercilessly
And tugging at my whole being
I am aware of my mother alongside me
Suddenly she starts to sink
I’m overcome with panic
I need to save her
I need to help
I need to rescue
I wake to a morning song
Of birds singing their happy tune
Relief washes over me
As the sun shines brightly
I will see my mother in a while
She is not dead but is well
For I spoke to her yesterday
And heard her quiet voice
A knock at the door pulls me out my reverie
Officers at my door
There was an accident
And I need to know
My mother is no more
In a split second I realise
Dreams are no longer dreams
And a nightmare is real

This is painfully real, Vonita. Is it what actually happened?

Mostly yes, I did have the premonition in a dream, she had already passed on the Friday, I dreamt on the Friday night, it was a heart attack and my grandparents arrived from a two hour flight on the Saturday to tell my sister and I, as my parents were on holiday in the U.K. when it happened x

They are irreplaceable. And you were very young. I was already in my 60’s when Mom died, but it still isn’t easy.

OMG, the shock, the relief, then the bigger shock! Impossible to put in words when something like this happens more than unexpected in such a young age.
