I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't really have any great words of wisdom or anything, just take each day at a time. Big hugs!
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you and your family can find comfort knowing that he is no longer suffering.
As you know, we are all here for you!
God bless!
I'm sorry to hear of your loss--and there are no words to really share. It's great that you had such a great relationship with him.
I am so sorry for your loss. I dont have any great words of wisdom but I do know that he will be there with you on your wedding day, even if physically he is not. He's now become a guardian angel in your life. Cherish the memories and know that he would want you to go on with your life and enjoy your big day.
there are no magic words to make you feel better :( it might be cliche but all that will help is time. i am so sorry for your loss. just realize that he's in a better place and no longer in pain, try to take comfort in that. he'll be with you on your wedding day and for the rest of your life in spirit.
Oh, honey. I'm so, so, sorry that he lost the battle so quickly. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family.
Give yourself time to grieve. I wish I had some magic for you. Try to focus on the wonderful father he was to you and be grateful for all the years you had him in your life. He knew you felt that special father/daughter bond with him, as he knew you choose him to give you away. What a special honor that must have been! And, with time, you will find ways to continue to honor his life and the relationship you had with him in your wedding.
I was once told that grief during a loss means that you loved deeply. I think there is a lot of truth in that.
Hugs to you as you journey through this sad time.
I'm so sorry about your loss :( I can only imagine how hard it must be for you. Hang in there... He's lucky to have someone who cared so much about him.
My condolences to you and your family! ((BIG HUGS)) Losing a person close to you is hard, just stick with your family and help each other get through this hard time together!
I don't have any words of advice but I'm truly truly sorry to hear of your loss. Stay Strong ((((Big Big Hugs))))
OH honey, I am so so sorry for your loss. Knowing that he was il does not make his loss any easier...you cannot mentally prepare yourself for that. I know this is an extremely difficult time, but know that we are all behind you and any time you need support, post on here. We'll be behind you. Try to take some time and grieve and like oracle said, you loved him deeply. Know that he will be there will you forever, especailly on your day. We love you ((((HUGS))))
First, I am so sorry for your loss ((((((HUGS)))))))
Truth is you don't have to do anything at this point. Take it one day at a time, surround yoruself with your family and loved ones and be on auto-pilot for a bit.
It's so hard when things don't happen like we plan them to. My heart goes out to you and your family. you'll be in my prayers.
So sorry for your loss. I'm sure this is a very difficult time for you and your family. I'm not sure I can inspire you, but maybe you could focus on finding a way to honor him at your wedding? There are a lot of different ways people do this at weddings and I don't have any experience with it, but just a thought. Peace be with you and your family.
I'm so sorry about your stepdad. I know it hurts so much right now, but the others are right and it will get better in time. You will learn to carry on and treasure the time that you did have with him. Be strong. Help your mom. I promise it gets better.
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that you can rely on on your loved ones to help you get through this difficult time. Know that he will be with you on your wedding day (as he will be every other day) because nothing can take away the memories and love you have for him.
I am so sorry to hear about the pain you are going through and the passing of your stepfather. It sounds like he was a pretty great guy. As everyone has said, make sure you take the time to grieve. There are some good books out there on grieving, and it might help to see a therapist too. There are several stages of grief (I think it is five- denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance) and it really helps to find someone to help you work through all of the thoughts and emotions you are feeling.
He will certainly be there with you on your wedding day ... and forever. We're here if you need to "talk" (aka write).
Also, it might be too soon so please forgive me if you aren't ready to think about this, but on my wedding day, I had little bouquet charms of my grandparents, who couldn't be with me on my wedding day. This might be a wonderful way for your stepdad to "walk" you down the aisle- a little charm of his picture would be attached to your bouquet. Message me if you want details... no rush as I know it is really soon to think about that, but I thought it might be comforting.
Big hive hugs!!!!!!
I know, not the same, but I just lost my grandma (well, great-grandma, but she was the only grandma I had). I never got to tell her I was getting married, and she wont be able to be there. It breaks my heart, but I plan to do something special in her honor/memory at the ceremony. Like light a candle, pour sand, have a picture of her, etc. Maybe you can do something like that and it will make you feel more like your step-dad is there. Also, do you have a brother you're kind of close to? Maybe he can walk you down the aisle. I'm very sorry for your loss. I totally understand what you're going through right now. My thoughts are with you and God is with you, always!
I'm so sorry to hear... :-(
A number of bees have worn charms like BeachBrideT mentioned... would it be possible to wear a photo charm to your wedding bouquet?

As BeachBrideT mentioned, it'd be a way for your stepdad to walk down the aisle with you like you would have wanted.
My heart is breaking for you. I can't even imagine the pain you are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am so sorry for your loss! I know that none of our words can do anything to take away your pain right now, but just know that we are out there and thinking of you and your family at this difficult time!
I am so, so sorry for your loss. You and yours are in my thoughts during this painful time.
I believe that your stepfather will be beside you in spirit as you walk down the aisle and for every moment of your wedding celebration. I also believe that those who leave us behind want for us to remember and focus on the good times we shared with them, so whatever you could do to commemorate that would be a wonderful tribute to him.
I agree with the others that a bouquet charm or perhaps a locket with his photo worn close to your heart would be a nice way to keep thoughts of him close to you during your wedding.
I wish there was something I could say to heal your pain.

I am so sorry! *HUGS* Ir's not the same, but Yesterday was the anniversary of my Grandma's death. There are no magic words we can say to make you feel better. Just know that we are here for you in anyway we can be.
I'm so sorry for you loss. :( Maybe take a little break from planning and let yourself go through the grieving process. *hugs*
It has been almost thirteen years since I lost my dad... it does get better with time, but I do miss him so much. :(
I am soooo sorry for your loss!
And he WILL be with you on your day to walk you down the aisle!
I think that it might help you to acknowledge him during your ceremony! I have seen brides walk with a single rose down the aisle and then leave the rose on an empty to chair (reserved for your loved one) during the ceremony! It can represent him walking you down the aisle!
My thoughts are with you and your family!!!
Oh sweetie I am so sorry your heart is hurting. I will pray for you and your family. Please let us bees know if u can think of anything u need from us.
My sincere condolences. I wish I could do more to support you right now, but know that I'm sending positive and supportive thoughts your way.
I agree that after you've done some grieving, maybe you can find away to celebrate his life in your ceremony/reception. He'll be right there with you in spirit and lives on in your memories of him.
Hug.
My heart goes out to you and your family. I'm so, so sorry for your loss. Many hugs to you - ((((((((hugs))))))))))
So sorry. You've got lots of great advice here. All I can say from my experience (lost my mom almost 6 years ago) is that while you'll always have an ache in your heart, it will get easier.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family at this difficult time.
I just want you to know that I'm saying a prayer for you and your family and so very sorry for the loss of your stepdad.
It will get better, but he will always be in your heart. I lost my dad 10 years ago this summer and he is forever imprinted in my heart and soul as will be your stepdad.
Many hugs and know prayers are being said for peace and healing for you and your family.
((HUGS)) I'm so sorry to hear this. My deepest condolences. I wish thee were something more I could say that might make you feel better, but all i have is that I'm sure he'll be there in spirit. Stay strong, feel better. Warmest, ETP.
i too wish to say im sorry for your loss. it sounds like you loved him very much..... sending lots of hugs and i hope you have friends and family with you right now
I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.
I lost my father two years ago, and I can relate to the way you are feeling now. Just know that he'll still be there on your wedding day in spirit, and there are many ways to honor him. I intend to to bouquet charms and also include a photograph in an "In Loving Memory" frame.
Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. 
*hugs* I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.
The best thing I can tell you is to give yourself some time to grieve. You have time between now and the wedding, so no decisions or even hints at decisions need to be made. Just be with your family right now and support each other. In time, I'm sure you'll find some meaningful ways to remember and honor him at your wedding.
I'm so sorry for your loss Brasty. I hope you can take some time to grieve and honor his memory. *hive hugs*
I am so very sorry for your loss. Please remember to take enough time to grieve - I think some people don't take enough time and end up with lingering sadness for years to come because of it. Take each moment as it comes and think about the good times you had with your stepfather and the wonderful things he brought into your life. Hugs to you and may God comfort you and your family through this difficult time. We are always here if/when you need us.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Don't rush, I know it hurts, and it will... but let yourself grieve. I hope that you get some hope in the fact that he is not suffering anymore.
**HUGS**
honey - I am SO sorry to hear of this. I don't have the magic words either - but if I did - I'd give them to you a million times over. I can extend my ((HUGS)) and prayers though!
I am so sorry for your loss. There are no magic words that will make everything okay...you just need to take it one day at a time. My father passed away unexpectedly in 2005...a car accident, so none of us saw it coming. And although I think of him everyday, it does get better.
My advice to you in regards to your wedding is to think of a special way to honor and rememeber him on your special day. I plan to wed on my father's birthday. To me, this will help me feel like he is with me that day. And although I have a stepfather (my mother remarried long before my father's death), I plan to skip the father/daughter dance tradition, as I think it would be too emotional for me. I will have my stepfather walk me down the aisle, though.
Anyways, I am getting off track here. Again, I am sorry for your loss. Just try to remember your good times together...that is what he would want for you. xo

You have all been so helpful with the few posts that I have added to the site. Hopefully someone will have something to inspire me out of this. My stepfather passed away yesterday. It was a month long battle and we knew he did not have long, but he went much much quicker than we expected. He really really wanted to walk me down the aisle, which he would have giving that he was my father in many more ways and for many more years than my biological father was. I am crushed and I just don't know how to do anything at this point. I guess I am just hoping for some magic words or thoughts that will help me get past this....Although I know that isn't possible.
