Losing my mum 2 months before my wedding

I sadly lost my mum after a short illness 2 wks ago , I’m heartbroken, lost .

I’m navigating my way through the grieve but I’m also due too get married two months after losing my mum who was going to walk me down the aisle.

The last shopping trip we had was her buying her outfit for the day we laughed and chuckled all day.

I feel like I’m on a rollercoaster and I want to get off , or a nightmare that I can’t wake up from.My emotions are all over the place mum would of wanted the wedding to go ahead but where I’ll find the strength I don’t know​:sad_but_relieved_face:
