My Dad died and I am getting married in two months

My Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer earlier this year and very sadly died about a month after his diagnosis, he passed away about 2 weeks ago, it had been such an awful time and we all miss him so much. I'm trying to continue with life but I'm getting married in two months and I am just so sad he won't be there to walk me down the aisle and experience the day with us, we don't want to postpone & Dad wouldn't have wanted us to either. I can't think about it at the moment without crying and I'm so worried for the day, I want to remember and include him, but I don't want to cry all day. 

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you cope on the day?

  • Hi, I’m so sorry for your recent loss. I joined the forum today as I am in a similar situation and felt I wanted to connect with you. My mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 4 weeks ago and passed away today, we had such a tough 4 weeks as it progressed so quickly. I get married in November and I’m so worried how I will feel on the day, we don’t want to reschedule either but I’m worried it will be so difficult for me and others in my family when I had thought it would be the happiest day of our lives. We’ve been talking about how I can include her in the day with some personal touches that aren’t public so to keep her close. Hope you have reached some peace with your loss
