dust for my mom?

[Miscka]

Could you guys throw some PS dust in my mom''s direction? I just found out that she (very unexpectedly) lost her job. I am sick with worry about this. My mom is single and has only had this job about 9 months. Her field is really specialized, and it is hard to find an open position at her level of experience (which is high). She moved here to the city where I live for this job, and now I am really sad that she may have to move away. She is my best friend and this has been a hard year for me and having her here has meant the world. On top of that my ring is getting here today and we are planning our "wedding" and I just feel guilty and awful. We can cover her part of the "wedding" costs but I can''t help but think maybe we should call it all off. Ugh. Anyway, any dust would be greatly appreciated

awww... don't call your wedding off if you can afford to do the wedding without her help, life happens and sometimes it is out of your control, I"m sorry to hear that about your mom DUST TO YOU! and prayers. My cousin was getting married, one month before her wedding her father passed away,, the wedding continued as originally planned.

Truckloads of dust being delivered to your mom as we speak!

I''m so sorry this happened, and I hope she can stay in your area and find a job there so you two can remain close. As for your wedding, my guess would be that a big, happy day where she can see her beloved daughter marry is something that would make her swell with pride and joy. I bet if you asked her she would say she wants the wedding to go on.

 

[Miscka]

Thanks, D&T and Haven. To clarify, its a "wedding" since we eloped, this was just a renewal/brunch reception. It feels kind of unnecessary, I guess, since we are already married. You are right though, Haven, I know she wants this to happen but maybe we should put it off awhile. So far, all we have done is schedule everything and put a deposit on the restaurant. Oh, and Mom bought my dress

Lots and lots of dust. I know how hard it is to watch your parents struggle right now.

What we keep reminding ourselves is that this is all temporary and things WILL get better. It may take awhile, but your mom will find work again!

 

[Miscka]

OU, didn''t you just go through this? I think worrying about your parents is the scariest thing ever

at this stage in my life when I am not far removed from when she took care of everything for me! I have been supporting myself for a few years now, but still. I am used to her being the stable one, not me!

Thanks again everyone. I love PS.

I''m still going through it! I think it was harder at first. But my parents are much more resourceful than I give them credit for. It''s been nearly 6 months since Dad lost his job and 9 since Mom lost hers... They are still doing okay and constantly looking for jobs. Sure, they are much more stressed than usual. I try to do any little thing I can to make things easier on them.

She will get through this and you will too! Scary times, but it will all be okay eventually.

Don''t call the wedding off. I''m sure your mom wouldn''t want you to either.
My best friends father was diagnosed with terminal cancer 2 months before her wedding and she wanted to call it off. Thankfully she didn''t and it was the best gift she could have given her dad before he passed away. My point is that even though there are tragic events in life, but the celebrations still have to be made. They are part of what makes life so special.

miscka -

these are just such scary times, economically, arent they? i''m so sorry your mom has been hit in this way.

i was really sad when you said that you didnt want her to have to move away because she''s your best friend

- i really hope she gets a new job quickly.

for what it''s worth, my mother died one week before my 21st birthday (this is many years ago now). my birthday celebration had been entirely modeled on hers, so it was poignant, to say the least. our initial thought was to call it off, but in the end we decided that if ever we needed to spend time with friends, that was the time. we did tone it down so it was more laid back and low key, but i found that spending an evening with people who loved me was way better than having another night alone in my room crying. likewise, perhaps your mom would rather get out than stay home and worry. my only concern would be to make sure she doesn''t feel uncomfortable if people ask her about her job, so it might be wise to seat her in between people who already know and who won''t ask her work-type questions over dinner.

just a thought - and good luck that it all works out the way you hope.

and much ******dust****** to your mom.
