My girlfriend's best friend is getting married next month. Last week, she and her mother were discussing how to honor her father, who died about four years ago, in the wedding. Two days ago her mother died. It's like a plot twist out of a bad movie. If you pitched that to a producer you'd get laughed out of the room because it's so absurd. But it happened. Needless to say it's been a strange few days.
The woman's mom died two days ago. Unless she had a bad relationship with her, it's assumed she'd be upset about it.
We saw her yesterday and she seemed to be in denial/plow ahead mode. But a friend talked to her today and said she was hysterical. So I guess the answer is "not well." No indications yet whether the wedding is still on, but I'm going to guess it is.
D, I don't know if you're trolling me or what, but you're not coming off well here. You probably should just leave it alone.
If that wasn't the case, I apologize for misinterpreting your detached demeanor as coldness. Hope your friend is okay.
Yikes, that sucks. Life has an ironic and black sense of humor. My condolences to the girl and her family.
To believe in a deity that cares about your well-being is a declaration of immaturity and personal failure, IMO!
Poor girl. Planning a funeral and wedding simultaniously can't be helping her grieving processes any. If they are close, it probably isn't easy for your girlfriend either. I know my best friend's mom is like my second mother and I will be very sad when her time comes. Try to be as supportive of her and her friend as possible. Major brownie points go to boyfriends like that.
Don't plant mom, dig up dad, prop them up at the wedding and it'll almost be like they're there. Marriage, funeral. It's all pretty much the same. Weekend At Bernie's-style hilarity will ensue.
