NF comes to visit

I dreamt my friend NF who passed away almost four years ago due to cystic fibrosis came to visit me. I was in my bed and it was morning but my room was dark. I seemed to be sleeping or in a sort of depression/anxiousness, not wanting to get out of bed. He (almost violently, but with good intentions) THREW the covers off and said “Get up! That’s enough!” I finally got up out of the bed. It seemed he was saying that’s enough of my depression/feeling down/sleeping the mornings away. He held my hands and said, “I know this is hard, but don’t give up. This is the hardest part.” He was his usual energetic, talkative self. In real life, I’ve really been struggling emotionally in many ways because of the pandemic. I’m overwhelmed trying to work from home and homeschool my child, and my relationship with my boyfriend has been a bit turbulent because of it. I’m not sure exactly what specific part of my struggle he was referring to, but it was encouraging.
