In my book ‘Letters of Hope’, I mentioned in Chapter 9 how I used to dread night time following my mum’s death. This was when my problems or burdens seemed bigger than they really were. I’d lay down and start thinking all sorts of negative things. More often than not, when I eventually fell asleep, the result would be nightmares.
Darkness can mean different things to various people depending on their circumstances. It can signify any or all of the following:
- Danger
- Loneliness
- Being lost or being in a state of confusion
- Oppression
- Fear of dying or of the unknown
