Dear Ash,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. And yes, that would be extraordinarily difficult to proceed through your wedding with the weight of the world on your shoulders.
My circumstances are different, but really they are the same--losing a loved one. I lost my mother, father and only brother to cancer. I know what it is like to lose a parent. It is hard to do no matter what transpired. I have learned alot through out these years about life and death. Our loved ones always remain connected to us...forever. They may not be here, but please know that your father loves you and watches over you. He would not want you to be sad forever, but to continue to live your life and most importantly be happy. Hold onto all the memories you have together. Remember the good times, laughter and love. Be proud to have been his daughter. I know it is hard. It took me some time to come to this conclusion. But, because of the peace I have found, I want to share it with those who struggle with this void.
If you need to talk please contact me.
take care.
Hi Ash,
I joined this website because I found your story while doing a google search about losing a father before a wedding. I thought I was completely alone with my feelings but am comforted knowing I am not alone in feeling this pain. I lost my dad the day before my wedding, July 22nd, 2011. I only had a few hours to decide if the wedding was going to happen or not. We went ahead and got married on the 23rd but I was still in such shock I hardly remember any of it. I'm having a really hard time adjusting to life without my dad, we were extremely close and I think the sudden nature of his death is really messing with me (he had a heart attack as well). I was actually out at my bachelorette party the night he died and am so angry and upset that I wasn't at home with him, though I know deep in my heart that there isn't anything I could have done.
It's been almost a year for you and I guess I'm hoping you'll check in and let me know how you're feeling. I know it's only been a couple months for me but the pain is still so agonizing I'm worried that it will continue to disrupt my life forever. I'm also worried that I will never be able to feel happy about my wedding and marriage because of the death.
Hope you are doing ok, please let me know how the process has been for you when you can.
