    and the last thing I said to her was something along the lines of "Mom! How could you do this? This is not the wedding that I imagined! Why did you change everything we agreed on!"

    So this past week especially there has been tension between us regarding the wedding details. I have been engaged for 3 years and had a clear picture of what I wanted which was a bit untraditional for my mom. Since it's a DW (halfway acorss the world where my parents live) and my parents are covering it my mom has been the middle person with the vendors and has been adding/changing things based on her opinion.

    The most recent argument (yesterday) was when I found out that she booked the venue from 4 pm to 9 pm...but what I origianally had in mind was a lunch/afternoon tea reception so we were arguing. Then I said something nasty, I told her that nothing was going as planned and complained that she kept changing things...

    12 hours later she got a heart attack at work. She's a doctor so luckily she was in the hospital when it happened. She's been in the ICU since and I'm not allowed to speak to her on the phone.

    My Dad is not possitive of the situation, all he told me was we can only wait and see.

    I feel so sad, and regretful that I've been such a brat and saying mean things to her over this stupid wedding and details. I just want her to get better:(

    Hugs! And don't feel guilty. You had a normal pre-wedding conversation that many brides have with their moms. She loves you and you love her that's all that matters.

    @bRooklynRocks: @TheFutureMcBride:

    Thank you for your kind words. I'm just so sad when I heard there's a chance she might not make it.

    Yesterday I felt like it was the end of the world when the reception time got pushed to 4 pm and my lunch/tea party turned into dinner. It's so silly, as now I realize how small it was!

    I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I agree with the other Bees, you shouldn't feel guilty about having that conversation with your mom. Easier said than done I know. Frown

    Oh my goodness I am so sorry.

    I agree with everyone else, don't feel guilty. We all have those types of calls with our moms at some point. She knows you love her and she obviously loves you so much too since she's a huge part in your wedding planning.

    *hugs* I hope she gets better soon!!

    Aww sweetie. I'm so sorry. I hope your mom is feeling better asap. She knows she loves you. Every mother and daughter fight during wedding planning, I can't tell you the number of times I've yelled at my mom, but I know she's forgiven me each and every time. It's a stressful process for everyone. Keep us posted okay?

    Thank you everyone! I really can't concentrate on work at all today...Some how WB makes me feel better.

    I talked to my brother and we thought about jumping on a plane to fly home but we wanted to wait for an update from my dad as once we get in the plane we'll be out of contact for 48 hours.

    I'm already sure if i ask SO he won't come with me which is irritating me a bit. I don't know evreything is irritating me today:(

    I'm so sorry to hear about this.

    Please please don't blame yourself.  I have a lot of anxiety problems and am always worried about something like this happening - being in conflict with someone and then having something happen to them before it gets resolved.  But people have different opinions about things, even and especially family.  If we make it our business to end every conversation with everyone we care about on a happy note, we're going to be giving and giving and giving and only dissatisfied with ourselves in the end.  Your mother cares about you - she wouldn't want you to be constantly so unhappy because you only try to make others happy.

    You've known and loved each other for, what, twenty? thirty? years.  One offhand comment is not going to change that for either of you.

    That said, I hope you are able to speak with her soon.  My best wishes are with you and your family.

    Ms Scarlet,

    I am so sorry to hear about your mom and hope that she gets better soon. I'm sure that she is fighting through it, she wants to be at your wedding that you both have planned so hard for :)

    My mom is going into surgery tomorrow and I'm going to give her an extra big hug.  Reading your post really affected me.  I really hope everything goes well for your mom and that she recovers soon!

    Hugs!!

    I am very sorry...I wish her a speedy recovery. My thoughts are with both of you. Like others said, please do not blame yourself for the argument. It's such a small thing that has nothing to do with her health problem, and it doesn't change your love for each other.

    Oh I am so so sorry! You and your family are in my prayers. She knows you love her, and she loves you!! Don't worry, she will pull through. Don't feel guilty, it isn't your fault, heart attacks don't just appear out of nowhere so this has probably been a long time coming, it it is not because of an argument. I hope she has a fast recovery, please keep us updated!

    I'm so sorry youre going through this. I wish there were comforting words we could all say, but I know there is nothing that will make you feel better. I hope and pray the best for your mom. Keep in mind, we always asks the what ifs and whys when in a bad situation. You had no idea this was going to happen to your mom, regardless you love her and she knows it.

    Keep us all posted. Hugs and prayers.

    Oh no! I hope your mom improves soon! And don't worry, it's not your fault at all. Please let us know of any updates. Have a safe flight when you manage to go see her. If she was already at the hospital when it happened I'm sure she has received the immediate care and attention needed to assure her recovery. Best wishes to you and your beloved Mom!
