He's Gone

Shelly70, 20 February, 2016 at 00:26 Posted on Planning 0 21

Hi Ladies

Just thought I'd update on my previous posts. My dad died earlier today. I'm heart broken . But he asked me not to cancel the wedding. Not sure I can do it without him but we will try ?

    Hi Shelly,

    I've seen your previous posts about your dad and didn't want to read and run on this one.

    i am so sorry for your loss, I can't even comprehend it. Be strong, cry when you need to and pull together with the rest of the family and your OH - they are all exactly what you need right now.

    hopefully in a few weeks when you've had time to process you'll be able to go back to the wedding and continue planning it with your dad in mind. He'll still be there on the day, just not in the way you would've wanted. There are lots of beautiful ways you can incorporate his memory into your day, you'll just need to figure out which one feels right to you.

    Big internet hugs, and remember everyone on hitched will be behind you whenever you need them.

    So sorry to see this. You must have had a roller coaster of a time. Take time to rest where you can - it's easy to stay busy but you can easily burn out.

    Hope everything goes ok over the coming weeks. Best wishes to you and your family. Xx

    I am so sorry.

    I lost my mum at the end of January and we are getting married in July.

    I am trying to do one constructive thing a day right now and it is just about taking each moment as it comes. I am just doing whatever I need to - needing to shout, scream, cry, talk or be quiet on my own, or spend some time with friends or clean the house from top to bottom.

    I am starting counselling this week with a local hospice service which I hope will help. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

    So sorry for your loss Shelly, there are no words any of us can say that will help really, but I didn't want to read and run.

    With regard to your wedding, my advice, such as it is, is to not think about it immediately, then when you are ready, decide what is best for you and the rest of your family... I know your Dad said he wanted you to go ahead, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you decided to postpone it if that is what is best for you and the rest of your family.

    One day at a time and make sure you take care of yourself as well as everyone else x

    Hi Shelly.

    I am so very sorry to read your news. I lost my dad almost 10 years ago now and I know how hard it can be. If you ever need to pm then please do.

    With regards to your wedding, step back for a few weeks and process your grief, delagate any urgent tasks to your bridesmaids (obviously ones not affected too) or other bridal party members or even your groom.

    Take care xxx

    Oh Shelly, I'm so sorry. I really don't know what to say but if you need to talk we're all here for you.

    I know how organised you've been with the wedding so you really don't need to worry about that for now, come back to it when you feel you can. There will be plenty of people who will be happy to help xx

    So sorry to hear this Shelly. Allow yourself to grieve, maybe postpone your wedding for a while so that you can process your emotions. My thoughts are with you and your family. Take care of yourself and stay strong, we're all here if you need us. Xxx
