Feeling defeated & over it. (rant/vent whatever you call it)

After changing my wedding venue things have not been smooth between my wedding planners and the coordinator, my grandfather passed away roughly a month ago and my father has been in the hospital for a week, we just found out he has congestive heart failure. I also just started a new job. I'm just feeling tired, defeated and just over it. Finding the mental and physical energy to complete the things I need to do for the wedding is proving to be difficult. But time is ticking. I just want to enjoy the planning, but life is just so overwhelming.

Aw, baby, so sorry.
And planners are supposed t make things better, not drain more energy, what is wrong with them!!!
The good ews is that once the excessive fluid around the heart is reduced, congestive heart failure is mostly a matter of management, not constant crisis. Hope things get better.

I’m sorry to hear about your dad and grandfather. Try to take a week or so to bit focus on your wedding and give yourself a break. With so much going on it becomes overwhelming. Explain to your planner that you’re feeling stressed and you need them to do what you hired them to do. Good luck!

I'm so sorry! Sending my love and best wishes to you.
Maybe you'll find it easier if you just take a break from things for a while, and come back to wedding planning when you feel like it.

Hello Melissa:
I agree with Jen, take a break since there are things you can't do anything about (granpa,dad).
Does your partner help you with the planning process ,appointments etc ...? Could you ask him to handle this while you're taking a break? Or maybe your parents?Best wishes to you!

My sincere condolences to you. I hope for the best outcome for your father.
It is perfectly okay that you feel defeated or "over it". It's hard to focus on happy things when something tragic has happened to you. Give yourself some space.
You still have several months before the wedding. I strongly recommend taking a week to yourself. You are experiencing a traumatic event (finding out your father has a serious ailment) and you may find you need to grieve (grieving isn't exclusive to death.) One week, in the grand scheme of things, will not derail your wedding.
Take some time to breathe, feel whatever you need to feel, and don't try to force yourself to do things that don't feel good right now. You will be able to return to planning and enjoy yourself soon.
