When my mother had died I lived at the other end of the country 2500 miles away and she lived near where I now lived. I had visited with her just ten days or so before she died. at that time we had both known she was going to die soon. We had said our goodbyes. She asked that I make sure my father was ok, taken care of.

Two years later when she came to me in my dream, we both knew/acknowledged she was dead. She told me everything was all right with her and asked me if my father was well, if he was doing ok. I told her he was fine, still living in their condo alone. I told her I was now living nearer to him, that we had moved to Vancouver from eastern Canada, something she did not know we were going to do when she died . She seemed pleased. I told her why we had moved, who I was working for.  We spoke like that for a short time, about every day kind of things. She seemed happy very matter of fact. 

The conversation was quite short I told her she need not worry about dad or us and she left. I had the feeling of others in the background but did not see them. She left without indicating she would return.

I had a feeling of great happiness at being able to reassure her that she need not worry about us and at seeing that she was happy.
