Dying: crazy dreams and flashbacks from life (while awake) 
Créé par SJB

Good morning everybody,

im 32 years old, and dying of a neurodegenerative disease. As of late, every time I fall asleep, I have these insane dreams; out of this world. Then, I wake up, and I'm having flashbacks from my life, that I had completely forgotten. Has anyone else experienced this? the mental aspect of dying is harder than the physical. 
please let me know I'm not alone in these experiences 🙏🏼

Dear SJB:

Thank you for reaching out for support.  My name is Jimmie.  I am currently dealing with my third cancer and appreciate how emotionally and mentally difficult living with a life ending illness can be. As you say, it is really important that you know you are not alone in your suffering.  Being in touch with others who are experiencing similar challenges as you are might be of some comfort to you. At least that has been my experience.  You don't feel as isolated and alone.  

I am also writing because my partner and three of my adult children were all diagnosed with Huntingtons, a neurodegenerative illness, making me more than a little sensitive to some of the challenges you yourself may be facing.  

Our experiences might not be identical in every respect, but they do sound quite similar.  Perhaps we can be of some help and comfort to each other.  If you are ready to write more about living with your illness, I am ready to listen in a respectful and supportive way.

Jimmie
