Man Shares Wedding Invites Less Than Year After First Wife's Death, Gets Text From His Child About Lack Of Grief

Grieving is a difficult and unpredictable process, and losing a parent can cause particularly intense sadness. Even though we appear to post every aspect of our lives on social media these days, it's not always easy to communicate the deep sadness that comes with losing a parent.

In the wake of the OP's mom's tragic death, she and her siblings are pushed into a world of uncertainty and misery as their father quickly enters into a new romance. In this moving story about sorrow and family dynamics, OP navigates the complex feelings and implications of a remarriage that appears to cast their own mourning out.

In less than a year, OP's father had already found another woman, and months later, they announced their engagement. It took roughly eight to nine months from engagement to wedding. 

Worse still, their dad is getting married to someone who is only a few years older than the OP and her sister, who happens to be the eldest. The dispute escalates as siblings seek to reconcile their own sentiments of loss with the father's willingness to go on.

Their dad even went so far as to send wedding invitations on the anniversary of their mother's death. This is exacerbated by ill-timed wedding invites and a hen party reminder that adds salt to the injury.
