Voices in the Night


By Chana Weisberg
Late at night. A dark, cold night. "Mommy," a voice calls softy, anxiously, "Mommy, I'm scared..."

Feeling this emotion
Dear Chana:

What an amazing event when I read this article that referenced your daughter and all I felt was the same emotion, that I, (a mid 50's person) gets.

As a result of war caused PTSD from thirty five years ago, I feel all of these emotions still, every night (sometimes during the day).

Your article bridges the generations and creates an emotion for many more of us.

May you be Blessed.

our parents
Our parents are our first gods. And so it is, a mirroring event, to call for one's Mother, to call for one's Father, in the dark night, to be a terrified child, to need reassurance, and to have that very special someone come.

Lucky the child who has at least one parent who comes in times of night terrors.

For those who don't, perhaps the journey of soul towards that loving Parent differs. I don't know.

A beautiful analogy that is very true.
