I can't even believe I am writing this.....

I started to write you all on Wednesday complaining about how much stress we are under in regards to us moving, putting the house on the market, FH no longer working, and how sad I was that everything was going on with only 4 weeks to the wedding when the worst thing has happened. My FH mother passed away 2 days ago. Completely unexpected with a brain aneurism. No symptoms. No problems. Just passed away. I just cannot even believe. I just can't. It is so overwhelming, so sad, so absolutely horrible that it's just so hard to wrap your heart around. The first thing my FFIL said was that the wedding goes on because Mom was so excited about it and would be so sad to have us postpone it. She is getting buried in the dress she was going to wear. I guess what I'm asking is for some hugs, prayers, and thoughts. With three weeks to the wedding, the funeral arrangements beginning today, I don't know why, but I've been on here for a little over a year and just felt like writing. Love your parents. Love your in-laws. Nothing is certain in life. Hug them all the time and let the small things go. The only thing that matters is family. Thank you everyone.

I am very sorry for your loss. I'm sure you'll find the right balance for you and FH to acnowledge her passing in a classy and appropriate way. When a loved one passes who is so close you can be tempted to constantly have prayers and mentions of them, I know this from personal experience with FH's dad's passing-you just don't want it to become another funeral service. FH and I were starting to have that problem and, thankfully, it was pointed out by our Pastor.

I'm sure that she would want your wedding to be as happy as possible given this horrible occurance. You are in my thoughts and believe that this experience will only make your love stronger!

You all just blow me away. I know this is a public forum but the support, thoughts, and prayers have just been overwhelming. The kindness and goodness of people is never more evident than in a crisis and you will never know how much I appreciate your words. God, you are just amazing people. Thank you.
