Losing a loved one 25 days out

Tonight I received a heart breaking call , my grandfather at the amazing age of 93 (give or take a year) went to sleep and passed away this evening. I’m devastated I was planning to fly to Spain to see him and my grandmother sometime after the wedding (probably summer) which is 25 days away , and I have plans to live stream the wedding to them as they couldn’t fly over seas due to their age to be here,I'm heart broken I didn’t get to see him or say goodbye, sad my children never got to meet him in person, sad he won’t get to see me walk to the man of my dreams ,even if it was only on a computer, I feel guilty for having a celebration so close to his passing. Not seeking advice just need to vent and process


May he forever Rest In Peace and May he always walk beside us all (his wife of 64 years,4 kids , 10grandkids , & 8 great grandkids)watching over and protecting us . I do thank god for taking him in his sleep so he didn’t suffer but I’m so sad he had to go and I’m also so worried for my grandmother she lived for him and is not in the best health I pray that she holds strong
I just ... I’m heart broken

    I'm so sorry! I lost my father last January and I try not to think about how he will be missed. I decided I would reserve a seat right up front for my father at the ceremony and a white rose on the seat. A simple and maybe cheesy gesture but it is a little comforting to know he won't really be missing from my big day and it will be represented! I hope it's nothing but sweet memories for you on your big day because I'm sure that it's the biggest way to honor your grandfather.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Grandparents are such special people in our lives. It sounds like he had a great life filled with love. May your memories of him bring you comfort. I have no doubt he will be there with you on your special day.

    I'm sorry for you! The grieving process takes a while, so it would be very difficult to lose anyone so close to your wedding.

    Maybe now he'll be the one with the best seat in the house. Also, if you still make a trip to Spain to see your grandmother I'm sure she'll appreciate your visit that much more.


    So sorry for your loss!

    I’m so sorry for your loss! I lost my first kitty on Sunday unexpectedly while I was at work. I know he wasn’t human and I am not trying to compare him to your grandpa, but he was our baby. Feel free to reach out if you need to talk.

    I am so sorry to hear this, I can't imagine what you're feeling or going through. I'm sending you strength, and praying your family is able to find peace. Your grandfather will be there watching the ceremony though, and I'm sure your happiness is all he ever wanted.

    I'm so sorry for your loss.


    In Judaism, joy outweighs tragedy; it's a mitzvah (good deed) to still celebrate the good, especially in the face of something bad. As terrible as it is to lose a loved one, your grandfather would want you to go on living and give yourself and your family something good to look forward to.


    Someone said something similar to me when I went through a loss and it helped, so it hope it may help for you too. Remember your grandfather fondly and know that he'll be at your wedding in spirit.
