Ladies, i know we've seen lots of super sad scenarios on this board and we've all sent out tons of prayers to our fellow brides. and this certainly isn't to minimize ANYONE elses tragedies or sad or scary situations. i don't know maybe her story is just really sticking with me as I'm coming close to my own wedding now? VERY self centered way of thinking i know ... but , i think about her each night before I go to bed while going through my 'to do' list for the next day. what do you guys think - is there anything we can ban together and do for her? I know I have a million and 10 things left on my list for my wedding (which is the week after hers) I wonder if we could get a group together and offer to help her get some stuff done? I don't' know, just throwing this thought out there to see if anyone has any ideas?
thoughts???
UPDATE- please see below for chrissywish's response to our offer. thank you so much to all the brides who have IM'd me offering to chip in! It looks like she's set and certainly if I hear that we need an '08 Bride Chrissywish to do list team' assembled for anything I'll be sure to let you all know.

I think that is a great idea as well! If she still has things to do, I would definitely be willing to help out with anything she needs!

Re: what can we do for Chrissywish?
ok - so i'm not insane :) yippee! so this weekend is my last weekend to do stuff for our wedding...and also the first weekend i've been home in a month. work travel has me going nuts so step one i guess is to see if and what she needs help with....is anyone here friends with her off line? step two - if she does have things to get done and we get enough girls interested we can divide and conquer.
so - is there anyone out there who knows how to get in touch with chrissywish? if not i can try and send her an FM

I do not know her 'in the outside world' but I think FM should be first attempt, then if nothing maybe client services could access her phone # in the system? Might not for privacy reasons, but in these circumstances perhaps worth a shot so we can see if she'd like some help?

I live on Staten Island now but would definitely take part in a GTG to help out.

Re: what can we do for Chrissywish?
You ladies are so sweet!!!! I've been thinking if there is anything we can do her too.
I don't want to promise to help and then not be able too, I'm up to my ears with wedding stuff, family events, and sick friends...BUT I'd love to help if I can.
My thoughts are definitely with her and her family.

Re: what can we do for Chrissywish?
ok - update...i sent her an FM and copied some of the first responders on there. ladies who i copied - please keep an eye out for a response also. Lets see if we hear back from her. Even if each of us only had an hour - we could do shifts or something to help her get whatever done :) of course - she may not need anything with bridesmaids help etc...but lets see!

That's what I'm thinking - hopefully her bridesmaids are all in town. I just know in my situation mine are all out of town so I hate to assume....lets see what she says.

Re: what can we do for Chrissywish?
here's another thought - maybe if the wedding stuff is all taken care of - we could put together a little LIBrides Dinner schedule? we could each make food and bring it over. certainly I'm sure they have neighbors helping etc...i'll tell you when this summer Future SIL and MIL were down for the count Future SIL's Girl Scout Troop did 'Dinners for Judy' and each night we'd open the door and there would be a full dinner just ready to heat up. they had a little schedule and each mom cooked something different each night. actually, it was a lot of chicken :) but all VERY appreciated.
Just another thought....and i'm bumping for more views too :) just to see if there is anyone who knows her

Re: what can we do for Chrissywish?
i missed the post so not sure what happened, but seems like something tragic in her family
i know how hard it is to get stuff done period and cant even imagine if you have to go through something tragic at the same time.
I can definitely help out. Does anyone know what she needs done?
