Motherless Daughters Community Group
For any daughter who has lost their mother, whether through Death (if it's been one day ago or 40 years ago) or Abandonment, (i.e.-drug abuse, mental illness, physical or emotional abuse, etc.) and is working through the grief process. This group provides unconditional support and understanding from women who have also lost their Moms and who truly care.
Her and I just started planning my wedding and then 2 months after we started planning she died.
Who would have thought that I would have been planning her funeral instead of us planning my wedding :(.
Needless to say, my anniversary last year was extremly hard. I couldnt be happy at all that I was married for one year because all I could think about was the setting and situation that I was married in.
I could have continued with my wedding plans but I just couldnt stand the fact that she wouldnt be there so I did it in the hospital room.
Atleast I know she was there and I held her hand the whole time as I said my vows.
Thats the most important thing to me, is that she was right next to me.
I never wanted a big wedding regardless -- just a small, intimate affair -- but to me, it almost seems pointless to make a deal out of it when and if the time comes. I know I will feel differently when someone does ask me to marry him, but until then, if my mother can't be there, it just won't be the same.
I am so sorry that you got married with your mother there, and that she wasn't there to see her grandchildren. My heart goes out to you.

I feel the same way you do.
