What to do?

Question

My dad passed away about a year and a half ago and will not be there for my wedding. I lost all dreams and plans i had growimg up the minute he passed. How do i try and remember all of the plans? How do i become happy while planning since doing it reminds me of him
Being gone?

Answer

Would it help if you honoured your dads memory in some way and make him part of the wedding itself? I’ve seen a few lovely ideas to include loved ones that are on longer with us:
- Get a photo of your dad and attach it to your bouquet so he’s still walking down the isle with you. 
- Make a ‘memorial table’ and leave a seat spare at the ceremony that would have been his 
- Have his favourite meal for your wedding breakfast. Or his favourite song as your ceremony music/first dance song. 
I’m truly sorry for your loss and hope that you have a wonderful wedding despite not having your dad there in person and only in memories.

Answer

While I didn’t loose my father, I have lost someone I was very close to. My fiancé and I plan to leave a chair open for them with a photo on it in their memory. I also am going to try to get my bouquet made of their favorite flowers if that’s something you’re interested in. I have also seen some women get small pictures attached to their bouquet as stated in a previous comment.

Answer

It's cliche but remember that he would want you to be happy, because I'm sure that's the case. Try journaling about him, the dreams and plans. It can be really helpful. Finding someone to talk to helps too - be it friend, family, or counselor. Sending love your way, so sorry you're going through this :(
