Wedding While Grieving?

envelopes

Dear Dr. Roberta,
I recently lost my son in a terrible accident. My fiancé is pushing for us to get married but my heart is not in it because I am still grieving. I don’t want to lose him but I don’t want to get married now. What should I do?

Mourning, Pennsylvania

Dear Mourning,

Take your fiancé with you to a bereavement support group. There he will meet others in your situation and understand that your mourning is perfectly appropriate and normal. The group meetings will help you sort out your feelings and make it easier for you to make a decision about your future.

– Dr. Roberta
