My dad died today.

I am so sorry for your loss. <3 My hugs, love, and prayers to you.

There is nothing that can adequately describe the grief that comes with losing a parent. I lost my mother a few years ago, and it was probably the lowest point in my life. I'm so sorry for your loss, I cannot imagine how difficult it must be in the midst of wedding planning. Be good to yourself - you don't have to pretend to be excited about the upcoming wedding. Take the time you need to grieve. Sending love your way.

I'm so sorry.

Sending my condolences to you and your family.

Im sorry for your loss. My prayers and condolences are with you and your family

I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending prayers and healing to your family at this time!!!

My dad died unexpectedly 6 days after I got engaged. It was so hard. Luckily one of my dads best friends (who also happens to be my matron of honors dad) agreed to take my dads place in walking me down the isle

First, my sincere condolences. I'm so very sorry you are going through this. Reading your post brought tears to my eyes because the similarities to my story are so uncanny. My father passed away in october less than 6wks after being diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. He also wanted to be cremated and have his ashes spread in the ocean as well. It is extremely difficult to lose him so quickly but what comforts me is that he didn't suffer long and I know he's not in pain anymore. Sending prayers up to the Lord and hugs to you and your family.

He may not be walking me down the aisle but I know for sure he will be there. I'm thinking of maybe releasing a balloon to honor him and acknowledge his presence at the wedding ceremony

Sorry for your loss

I am so sorry!! I am going to add you and your family to my prayers!!

I am so so incredibly sorry for your loss. My dad passed 10 years ago and it's hard. You are in my thoughts.

Loveyoumoore... my dad died almost exactly 3 years ago. Your post was almost identical to my email to my job stating my dad died. Blunt. Lost. A sadness and ultimate shock that i could not begin to fathom or comprehend. I read your post and my heart froze, like it did that day. And then I felt overwhelmingly compelled to message you and promise you that will be okay, but the hurt will never end. Why do I feel compelled? My dad's grave is etched with "I Love You Moore"... a saying in our house because my dad always said this to my mom.. and not more, but MOORE... their married name. You're a stranger and I feel connected and full empathy for you.

It hurts. Always. But you will smile again, I promise. I'm so very very sorry.

So sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.

I'm sorry for your loss..my condolences to you and your family.

My condolences to you and your family.

I am so so sorry for your loss

My deepest condolences to you. Take care of yourself right now because grief can overwhelm. Don't worry about wedding right now- unless it's a therapeutic outlet or escape. You need to focus on the tough work of grief right now. So be kind to yourself. Take each day as it comes.

I'm so very sorry. I've been thinking of you and praying for your family. Ive been trying to contemplate words to say but no words will make it easier. My sister in laws mother died the day before her and my brothers wedding. I can't imagine what you're going through, nor the pain she was in.

Please take time to care for yourself. And remember that though he may be gone, you will never be alone.

Praying for you and your family.

I am so sorry for your loss
