I went through a similar situation with my dad 4 years ago. There’s really no advice that can make this better, but if you want to talk to someone who gets it, my DMs are on. Praying for you girl💗

My boyfriend lost his father to cancer. He’s opened up to me that it breaks him that his father won’t see our children in the future or our wedding. It’s hard, but you come to understand that it’s.. going to be okay. It might not feel okay, but what will be will be. Love him in the time you can, honor him when celebrations happen and he’s absent. Know it’s not a choice, him leaving, and he’s watching his baby grow up and live life from above 🩷

This happened to a friend of mine. She reserved a seat right in the front on the aisle with a picture of her dad on it. She also wore something of his as her “something borrowed” so he was walking down the aisle with her

Praying for you both❤️ if you’re interested, I’ve heard a lot of good things about Steven ministry. It’s a grief ministry to support those who are suffering. A lot of churches around the country have trained Steven ministers. If that’s something you’re interested in, I’d highly recommend it

I’m so sorry OP - I’m not going to pretend I know what you’re feeling right now, but I can tell you that any and all emotions are valid - anger, sadness, grief, confusion - all of it is valid and real. Just know that he will smiling down on you on your wedding day, holding your hand and sending beautiful little messages to remind you that he is still near. Please reach out if you need anything, I’m so sorry.

Get a bunch of dried preserved flowers and have him arrange your wedding bouquet so you can carry him with you on your wedding day and keep it forever. I am so sorry, my fiancé and I will be praying for you and your family❤️

My dad passed away when I was 21. I blocked out the fact he won’t walk me down the aisle. I looked to over men in my life as father figures and got mad when they weren’t him. It’s rough. I’m not going to lie to you. It’s been a year and half now and I’m still upset he won’t be there to walk me down the aisle. If you find a way to cope let me know. If I find a way I’ll let you know.

my dad passed my junior year of high school almost three years ago. we were best friends, and that was and forever will be the biggest heartbreak of my life. obviously some days are better are than others, but i doesn’t get any easier. all i can say is that he isn’t in pain anymore, and that’s enough for me. even though he wasn’t physically here to watch some of the biggest events in my life, i know he’s always watching over me
