I posted this in weddings as well, not sure which category was best....
My fiancee and I are getting married on 10/20, and over the course of the last year, his mother has been battling cervical cancer. We thought she was in the clear early in the year, so we got everything planned. A couple months ago we were given the bad news: it spread viciously (stage IVb) and we're not sure how long she has. She's deteriorating every day and might not be able to attend. We nixed the idea of moving it up, we don't want her to think we're "rushing" her or showing any signs of something being wrong. We will do our best to carry on no matter what the circumstances. If she is still here we'll visit her and have a "mock" ceremony after the church and before the reception. If she's not with us, we'll try to do our best to continue with our plans.
I'm just wondering has anyone had to go through this before, with a parent? How did you cope with it? We're you able to go through with it?
