Did I disappoint Mum?

Dear Roi

My mum passed away 13 months ago and I’ve dreamt about her almost every night since. She had a terminal illness which lasted almost eight years. I saw her most days of the week and spoke every night on the phone, and I feel so lost without her. In my dreams I see her and feel so happy and relieved she hasn’t died. I try to hug and kiss her but she doesn’t respond. She’s not happy to see me. I’m always so upset when I wake up. Sharon Carey, 47, Runcorn
