The way we process grief varies from person to person – some cry, others become withdrawn, and some try to avoid the subject altogether.

Another research conducted by Canadian psychologists focused on 76 individuals who had recently experienced loss. The findings revealed that a majority of the participants found comfort and a stronger belief in an afterlife through dreams of the deceased. These dreams were often described as visitations, providing a sense of connection and solace.

Psychologist Jennifer E. Shorter has also explored the relationship between dreams and grieving individuals. In her study, she identified four key characteristics of a visitation dream. Firstly, the deceased appear as they did in life, often healthier and younger. Secondly, they may communicate their current state – assuring the dreamer that they are fine. Thirdly, the messages in these dreams are communicated telepathically rather than in physical form. Lastly, these dreams are often calm, harmonious, and well-organized

It’s important to note that the prevalence of visitation dreams is still unknown, and they can occur shortly after or long after the person’s passing.
