Neonatal Death 8 Days Before Wedding

I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't think your family wishes you to cancel your wedding. My suggestion is to take time being gentle with yourself and your partner this week and to not plan any new things. Take personal time to grieve, and on your wedding day, try your best to be consciously present to celebrate your commitment and new family. I would not suggest any public verbal, or musical tributes in memory as these are highly triggering for many people and will certainly change the vibe and projection of your celebration. Take care.

I'm so sorry to hear about this.

No one is going to expect you to cancel your wedding, and I doubt that would even be possible 8 days out, anyway. I would be there for your loved ones this week, and assure them that you understand if attending the wedding or attending for the duration ends up being too much. A week from now, I hope you will be able to enjoy and celebrate your wedding. I have no doubt that's what everyone wants for you. It doesn't take anything away from what you feel for them.

I m so sorry for your loss, that is so awful and sad. Sending you a huge hug. In this instance I would do whatever feels best to you. Grief is a strange thing and it often hits in waves and sometimes in ways you don't always expect. Give yourself and everyone else a little extra grace. Understand that some guests may not be up for attending the wedding so soon after the tragedy and that's ok. It can be so hard when life's happiest moments and the hardest ones occur at the same time it. It s important to remember that even though you are grieving a tremendous loss it is ok to feel the joyful moments too and there is no need to feel guilty for that. I hope you find a way to celebrate your wedding while also healing your heart. We aren't always granted tomorrow so live the most beautiful life you can every single day. As others stated it may be to soon to do a big memorial but if it you want to you can do something small for just you to know about. Tie a pink ribbon to your bouquet, have her initial sewn into your dress, pin a symbol that means something to you onto your bouquet or in your dress (a cardinal, a heart,a cross, a butterfly, etc). Wishing you all the best
