My weddings is in 2 weeks and my aunt, who has been battling bone marrow cancer for years now was just re-admitted to the hospital. It has spread and the prognosis is not good.
The Dr.'s say it is only a matter of time and that there is not much more they can do.
I wish I could postpone my wedding, but 75 guests already have tickets to Italy....I don't even feel right celebrating...
I don't want my Mom to have to remember her daughters wedding and her sisters passing at the same time.....

Please pray for her....she has suffered so long and is in so much pain...

I am sorry about what you're going through. All I can offer you are some hugs, and I'll keep you in my prayers.

I am so sorry! I understand your feeling about not wanting the two memories tied so closely together - but, sometimes happy events (like a baby's birth or a wedding) can help people look toward the future and move through their grief over an illness or loss of a loved one.

Moms have a boundless inner strength when it comes to their children, and I'm sure that despite your Mom's pain, she wants you to have your beautiful day too. My prayers are with your family

I second what Claud said. I hope the happiness that your wedding will bring her helps to dull the pain, even just a little. I'm so sorry you're going through this now.

I am so sorry that you are going thru this, I too am going thru the same thing, my grandfather is in teh hospital with brain and lung cancer, and was supposed to come up form FLorida for my wedding. My father and aunt are with him in Fl and I feel bad that I am still going on with my wedding plans for Oct. My friends have given me good advice, my grandfather would not want me to stop my wedding because of this, he wants me to be happy and have a great day. Adn I too was concerned about my father being sad, but he has been waiting for this for along time, and will be overjoyed that his baby girl is getting married.
