@orphanedd: A reminder to think before you assume. People who have been through a lot have to carefully consider life events and the emotional toll. Even before I lost my Dad, a wedding without Mum seemed unthinkable. But, Dad would be there to walk me down the isle. Sobbing because he was so proud of his girls. And now, without Mum and Dad it’s truly unimaginable. #grief #griefjourney #griefandloss
I'm ngl I'm struggling to understand the correlation and why one impacts the other

The people who don’t get it don’t know how lucky they are, I’ve got both mine but my best friend lost both of hers and the way she looks at life and what’s important is so different to me, no one will get it until they’re in it ✨

The people that don’t get what you’re trying to say in this post are so lucky. 28 & an orphan as of August last year. Going to Europe with my partner in July for the first time… girl thanks for sharing & making it a lil less lonely in these thoughts 🩷

Hard disagree. You’re talking of a wedding, not a marriage. My parents were both dead by the time I was 24 and I also balked at the idea of a big wedding with lots of gaps where they should be. But I still wanted to be married to my love. Two witnesses, council office on a Tuesday lunchtime - perfect

Hi! I lost my mother too. Please remember the wedding is FOR YOU. I know it might feel very hard in the moment but this is a step for YOU

Jist shows there is too much emphasis placed on the ceremony and not the intent of marrying

Honestly, I got engaged in December and am now experiencing grief all over again at the fact that my dad won’t be there on the biggest day of my life, & it’s kind of overshadowing the whole engagement thing, to the point I am really not excited about it & I feel awful for feeling like that!

“Are you getting married before or after you sign the contract for the house you bought?” - frankly I haven’t even thought about it because all I’m thinking about is how I have no family left to invite to the new house ✨

Yes, you’re right. It seems meaningless .

Same, the thought of a wedding without my mum just isn't it.

This but both my parents are alive and I'm merely grieving the parents I always wanted but never had. Marriage was never the priority. We finally married at our 12,5 year anniversary and are now married for 5 years, but without any of my family present.

I got married in Las Vegas in 10 minutes because my mother was dead and I couldn’t imagine a real wedding without her.

I never saw my parents in the same room. They spoke so badly of each other so I knew we I could never have a wedding. tethered would be too much tension and drama. So that was never my path. Now I'm an orphan and in a relationship with someone who never wants to get married. So Ive never had the choice and hate being asked about it.

Girly I feel you. I’m an only child - lost my dad 4 years ago and my mum nearly 7 years ago. People don’t understand how much grief changed the way you respond to/deal with life milestones especially when your favourite people are gone. Big love to you x

Both our moms are still around. Both our dads are dead. We’re ok with waiting. Dad wasn’t there for my sisters wedding and that was heartbreaking enough even after 18 years…
