I'm fairly new to this board, but I think I just needed to get my thoughts out and you all seem so nice....
Last night my father passed away after 9 brave months of fighting Leukemia. We really thought he had beat it, but he took a turn in the past few weeks and then this weekend everything went downhill so fast.
We were all there with him, and I know he is no longer in pain and no longer suffering, but I've never felt pain like this.
He was the best father any girl could ever ask for. He was so excited when we got engaged 2 months ago, and I know he tried so hard to fight so he could be there.
I can't believe my dad won't be there for my wedding. Won't be walking me down the aisle. Won't get to do the father/daughter dance.....
Has anyone else dealt with this? Losing their father while planning their wedding? Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
I am so sorry for your loss. I really don't have any advice that I think would help at all. Many prayers and hugs sent your way.
((hugs)) I'm so so so so sorry for your loss sweetie. I lost my grandmother about a year prior to our wedding. It was hard going through the day without her, but I carried her photo in a locket on my bouquet, and I know she would have been so happy to see me. I'm sorry I don't have a lot of advice other than to just keep him in your heart, and know he'll be with you there on your day. Sending you lots of love and strength.
I am so so sorry for your loss.
I lost my father suddenly when I was 15 so I have an idea of how you are feeling. I was so sad and am still sad that he was not able to walk me down the aisle or see me marry the wonderful man that is my husband.
My co-worker lost her father to cancer a few short weeks before her wedding. Her brother ended up walking her down the aisle.
I"m so sorry, I hope you can take comfort in the parts of your life that your father was able to be a part of. Like meeting your FI.
*hugs*
So deeply sorry for your loss. I haven't experienced something similiar, I'm sure it's really heartwrenching. Please know that he'll always be with you in spirit. ((Hugs))
I lost my daughter 10 years ago to asthma. I miss her terribly and can not help but imagine how much fun she would have had with planning my wedding. She would have truly enjoy it.
I am so very sorry, I know it is very hard. But I firmly believe on your wedding day, your Dad will indeed be there, unseen but there none-the-less.
First of all, I am so sorry for your loss. My father passed away from cancer almost 3 years ago. It has been, by far, the hardest thing I've had to endure. I was not engaged at the time (I can't even imagine how difficult that must be!) but even now it is very difficult to think that he will not be there on my big day, not able to walk me down the aisle, etc. I do plan to do some "in memory" things for our ceremony such as lighting a candle in his honor, having his picture in a locket attached to my bouquet, etc. Just remember he is with you always. I am sending lots of prayers and thoughts your way. Again, my condolences to yourself and your family! Hang in there!
*HUGS* I am so very sorry for your loss. Your father sounds like an amazing man and I'm happy that you and your family were able to be with him even though it must have been difficult. I know it's not the same, but I believe that he will always be there with you for big moments in spirit. Having seen you grow up and get engaged probably made him the happiest man on earth.
I wish I could relate more directly, but I lost a loved one to cancer last year and there just never seems to be enough someone can say in comfort. He was the closest thing I had to a father growing up and my best friend's father. Being there with her family when he passed was one of the hardest things I ever experienced, but I would not have it any other way. It was hard to see him so sick. I like to think that everyone being with him helped him to pass knowing that we were there for each other. It was our way of saying it was ok for him to pass on in peace. Stay strong and just try to take things one day at a time. I really wish there was more I could do or say to comfort you.
I am so sorry that you have lost your Dad. I hope you receive comfort from those who are close to you.
I'm so sorry sweetie, I haven't lost my father but I lost my mother before I got married or engaged. It's hard losing a parent anyway but when you are getting married it seems even harder.
I'm so sorry to hear! You are in my thoughts and prayers! I know how difficult it can be, I lost my father when I was younger as well.
*hugs*
I am so sorry for your loss! I cannot even begin to imagine how difficult and painful this loss is. I am sending lot of love and prayers your way. We are all here for you.
sending you ((hugs))... I am so sorry. you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers...
I'm so sorry. I wish I had words to comfort you. He sounds like a great dad. I know it's a cliche but I really do believe he will be with you at your wedding.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish I had some words of advice for you, but all I can do is send you some hugs. I'm so sorry.
I'm so, so sorry for your loss. I'm planning my wedding without my mom, and it truly sucks. I can't imagine what you're feeling and going through right now, but please know that, as cliche as this sounds, he will be there with you on the day in spirit.
I'm so sorry! I haven't gone through this, but I just wanted to offer you some support. ((hugs))
I am so sorry for your loss. I know it hard. I lost my dad last year after a very long battle with Alzheimer’s. He was a minister and married my sister and her husband and he would have married us. I have times when I miss him during this planning. The first time the tears came when I was doing the invites. I have a step dad but I would have put my dad’s name on the invites not his. Then I won’t have the father daughter dance either. I was just planning with the DJ and came to that part and cried. It is going to be hard hun. But please know he is with you every step of the way. Not in body but spirit. When I was with the DJ and feel so sad I swear I felt him with me and trying to tell me to be happy in the planning and don’t be sad. I hope this helps a bit. PM me if you need to talk.
I just wanted to say I'm so sorry that you are going through this. Losing a parent is one of the hardest things you can face in life. I just went through a few years of watching my best friend's mom fight cancer and she lost her battle a little over a year ago. It has changed my best friend's life and was a great impact to my own as well.
There will be days when you wonder how you are going to get out of bed because of the heartache and grief but know that every day things will get a little bit easier. Your dad will definitley be with you in spirit on your wedding day though I know right now that doesn't seem like much consolation when you just want him there in body.
Lean on your friends and family for support - they will hold you up during this very difficult time.
I'm so sorry. I hope that your friends and family can help you through this difficult time, and that you can be blessed with sweet memories of him on your special day. *hugs*
I'm so sorry...*hugs*. I have not been there...however I have a father who is not in good health...and I pray each day he will be there to walk me down the isle.
But I do know your father would want you to enjoy your wedding...and he would be so proud of you. Only time will heal you...but take comfort in your fiancee' who will surley stand by you no matter what.
I'm teribly sorry to hear this, truly. I lost my father a long time ago and my mother lost her father 2 weeks before her wedding. I'm still reconciling that he won't be there for me, so I can't blame you if it takes a while to sink in. No one expects things to be easy, just try to seek out comfort in family and your fiance. They'll be what will gets you through.
I am so sorry for your loss! Please accept my sincere condolences on the death of your farther. It must be really tough for you at this time.I am sending lot of love and prayers your way. We are all here for you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom about 10years ago and the wedding planning has been lonely with out her around. We had just become friends, adult friends and I miss her terribly. I was her only daughter and I know we would have had so much fun planning.
Please cry as much as you need to, and lean on your friends and family. (((HUGS)))
I am so sorry this happened to you, so very truly sorry for your loss! My FI asked for my hand in marriage the same evening my dad passed away in liver cancer March this year. I can't believe my dad won't be there, sharing this day.. he really appreciated my FI as a part of the family.. the only guy he ever accepted as being the right guy for me. For FI it was tough as well..
Once again, I am so sorry to hear this. I am sending you a hug and my thoughts.
Send me a PM if you want to talk more.
Hugs and prayers. My dad passed away 2 months before my wedding, fairly unexpectedly, so I "get it."
i am so sorry. i lost my father a couple of years ago and it was unexpected. It is the worst feeling ever. I want you to know that it does get better with time but you are never healed. You have to adjust to your new life. It sucks, but you learn to cope. No one understands why these things happen. I found comfort by talking to people who have gone through the same thiing and literally just cried in my fiances arms. It helped. It will get better sweetie. Hugs to you!
I am so incredibly sorry. I cannot even begin to imagine what you're going through right now.
I'm sure that your FH will be exactly what you need him to be during this awful time.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I didn't go through the same thing, but I did plan and have my wedding without my mother, who died 5 years ago. It was extremely difficult but I tried to keep my mind on our happy memories, and I tried to believe that she really was with me along the way and on my wedding day.
