Need some of that famous LIW support right now

Yesterday afternoon my family and I lost a very important person in our lives. My grandmother passed away at 92 years old. She had been ill for a couple months, and while I'm grateful that her suffering and pain is over, I cant help but feel a little selfish and wish that she would still be here for the wedding in November. She was such a staple in my life. We lived with her so its almost like I lost my second mother yesterday. I'm trying to deal and FH has been AMAZING through this whole ordeal. I know that she will be with us on the wedding day, just not in the way that I always pictured. I still plan on getting her corsage and keeping a seat for her at the wedding. Would that be weird or strange? I guess I was just looking to put this out there, it somehow just still doesn't seem real...

I'm sorry for your great loss! I dont think its weird at all...I hear many brides do that when they lose someone special such as a parent or close relative...

I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a grandmother is so terribly hard especially if you were so close. I am so close with my nana I cant even imagine the pain your feeling, thoughts and prayers with you and your family. I think it is a wonderful idea to still get her a corsage and save her seat at the wedding. Maybe even have some sort of memorial candle. We may be doing one for FHs great grandma who he lost when we first met. Dont worry though seat or not your grandma will be at your wedding frontand center with bells on watching over you!

I think that's a really sweet thing to for you to do. I am so sorry you have to go through this, but you're right - she's not suffering anymore and she'll always be with you. Xo stay strong.

So sorry for your loss. I can not even imagine. Don't worry right now how you will honor your grandma on your wedding day. There are so many ways you can do it, either with some of the things you suggested or wearing something from her. Right now you need to focus on your grief and saying goodbye to your grandma.

I am so sorry for your loss. Losing someone that close to you is extremely hard. I think it is a wonderful idea (not strange at all) to 'save' her a seat. I think possibly putting a picture of her in a frame and laying the corsage next to it will be beautiful. We plan on doing this for FH's grandparents that passed.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My aunt who was like a grandmother to me passed away this past November so I understand what you're going through. It's still hard to believe that she won't be at my wedding. I think leaving a seat open for your grandmother is a lovely idea and isn't strange in the least bit. My prayers go out to you and your family.

Re: Need some of that famous LIW support right now

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. It sounds like she lived a long and wonderful life. I don't think getting her corsage and saving a seat is weird at all. You could also mention her in your program if you're having one. She will still be with you, not just on your wedding day, but every day. My prayers are with you and your family.

Crashing...I'm so sorry for your loss. My grandma lives with me and my family also. I can't imagine what you must be feeling now. I think saving a seat is a sweet thing to do for her (and you). She'll definitely be toasting you both from heaven! My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family.

Re: Need some of that famous LIW support right now

sorry for your loss, I know what your going thru. lost my dad in dec, and it's going to be odd, not having him there. not weird at all to have her there with you all. she was there your whole life, she'd be mad if she diden't have place at your wedding.
