We just found out today that our caterer's husband was killed in a car accident this past week--he was waiting to make a turn and someone rear-ended him and pushed him into oncoming traffic. On top of it all, her daughter's wedding was last weekend, and she is still on her honeymoon, maybe coming home early.
She is still doing the wedding, and still wants to meet with us this Monday--she just asked to move the appointment up to 11am so she can be ready for her husband's WAKE that evening.
Her assistant who called my mom and told her this says she still wants to meet and it is fine because it distracts her, but jeez...I don't want to go. How do I nail out final details of my wedding with a woman who just had a very recent horrific tragic loss and still hasn't even had a chance to grieve? She's definitely a strong woman, but I don't even know how to approach this--I feel horrible!
If everything goes off fine, she is getting a ridiculous amazing review
