@izzythepush,
I have a thought IZZY... And TTL.
My Grandmother, bless her, passed away in her sleep when I was 25. She was full of wisdom, perhaps one reason why I can not leave here and am drawn, as so many members here are as well....
In any event.. She was also my God Mother, in lots of ways, my Mother too as she and I clicked and understood each other and she helped me understand so much in life.
When she passed someone said to me, to create a place I could visit when I was about to go to sleep.. So I did. I pictures naturally what appealed to me, a two storey home, white washed, with a balcony. The path had yellow daffodils and strangely enough, black pansys.. When I got there, Grandma would wave at me from the balcony and the cats that I owned, deceased would run up to me and walk me down the path. There were woods on the right and a cliff (safe) with the sea at the end of the pathway.. I saw pots hanging in the kitchen and a stair case, ceilings fans but I never for some reason ventured upstairs, I always fell asleep...
Why not try something like that? It's just a thought, when I need my Grandmother that is where I go, before I sleep.
