DAUGHTERS WHO FEEL ALONE (formerly Motherless/Parentless Daughters)................

Original post by Sassy

As you all know I am planning this wedding without my Beloved Mommy....
I know she is in my heart and always with me, but it still is very difficult.
In fact living day to day I remember Mommy every single day and think about her all the time.

Luckily in discovering LIWeddings, I have also discovered many other 'Motherless Daughters' who share my sorrow and experiences.

Princess99 is also a Motherless Daughter. We have been talking in length about starting a group for Motherless Daughters to get together, talk about our experiences, give each other support, and cry on each other's shoulders. Maybe in doing so, we will help strengthen each other and also make some lifelong friends. We can talk about ways to remember our Mothers in our weddings, in our marraige, and even in the upbringing of our own children. Basically in everyday life, before and after marraige.

Our hope is that we can fill some of the emptiness we all feel, especially by being with others in our situation who understand and feel our pain.

Princess99 had once recommended to me a book called Motherless Daughters, that I bought for myself and since for many others.
Since then she came up with the idea of a group and we've been discussing it and think it's a great idea.

If you do also, and want to be a part of our group, let us know. You can respond to this thread, FM either Princess99 or myself, and let us know your thoughts. Any thoughts and ideas for the group are welcome.

Liz and Sue

EDIT TO SAY:
That I would also like to open this up to those who lost their Father or a Grandparent as well. If you feel you can benefit from this, please feel free to join. We are here for everyone

Re: MOTHERLESS/PARENTLESS DAUGHTERS................

I also like the idea of a buddy . I also FM mail Ron to ask him if we can have a page on this board, waiting to hear back from him.
I was almost in tears to see that I am not the only one going thru this myself. It just stinks that our moms/dads or both are not here to share this and every day of our lives thru this special time.
Got a question, I am wondering how are you girls wording the invitations? My mom and dad are both gone, and I found an envelope that my dad had put aside with some cash in it for my wedding, his mom is not paying for anything and we are paying for the wedding by ourselves. How would you word the invites???

Re: MOTHERLESS/PARENTLESS DAUGHTERS................

It was so hard deciding how to word the invitations b/c not only is Mom deceased but FH's parents are separated, and now his father just passed.

My entire family is wonderful and helping me with the wedding. Although his is not really, I didn't want to oust anyone.
I put
Bride and Groom TOGETHER WITH THEIR FAMILIES...............


BY THE WAY.................
THE Buddy list is good. Enough people seem to participate.

I'm going to start a thread for our first GTG .
It will definitely be after June, so that we can all get prepared (and so that I can get married, LOL

FOr those tho' who need someone to talk to, I am ALWAYS available, wedding planning or not.
Please FM me for my cell phone number and I will talk to you and be the buddy until our first GTG.
I would like to shoot for late June or early July, maybe a Saturday afternoon.
For those of you with children, they are welcome.
Like I said, I will begin a separate thread to discuss this.

Thanks, and hugs to all of you,
Liz

Re: MOTHERLESS DAUGHTERS................

Although I am fortunate to have both of my parents still with me (and I was married over two years ago), my father has been very sick for the last few years and just recently had a kidney transplant, which will hopefully improve his health. Therefore, I can truly appreciate having parents face mortality, and being forced to face the very real possibility of losing them. My heart really goes out to you ladies, and I only hope that on your special day, you will feel your parents and passed loved ones in your heart as you walk down the aisles. Obviously each of the mothers that was discussed in this thread raised wonderful, caring, and loving daughters, and you should be proud of yourselves! Hugs to you all.

Re: MOTHERLESS DAUGHTERS................

as a few people know my mother passed away about a month ago. Today i spent my first mothers day at the cemetary instead of planting flowers with her as we always have.


To my mother,
