  So let someone else do it for a while. It's okay to stop sometime.

  i agree with the wise peach. do what you absolutely must do and then put it on the backburner. i've been on autopilot for the past 2 months so we could 1. focus on moving apartments and 2. just enjoy being engaged. do it girl! or i should say, don't do it for awhile.

  
  

  also, hugs to you and so sad to hear about your loss.

  I agree with everyone else. Take a step back to rest and recouperate. I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your aunt especially during such an important time in your life. Sending thoughts of encouragement our way.

  I fifth that - take a break!  In fact, I would have that break include theknot, because every time I get on here and I read other people's posts, I get a little frantic, like "oh, shoot, I should be thinking about that/doing that too!"
  
  I also would recommend, when you feel up to it, getting some sort of exercise in daily.  Every time I get in a slump it's the last thing I want to do, but it's really the best remedy.  Even if it's just a walk - get the blood/endorphines pumping and you'll feel way better afterward.
  
  So sorry to hear about your loss.  Take the time you need to grieve.  And maybe once you're up to thinking about the wedding again, you can think of some way to incorporate a celebration of her life.

  If you are still reading this still, a nice way to incorporate her would be with a nice candle. I am getting my Unity Candle and other candles from Quail Hollow. It's in Amish country.
  here is the website:

  Maybe look at getting one of those to burn at the wedding in honor of her.

  I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. From your post it sounds like you and your aunt were very close. So often life gets busy and we don't take the time to properly grieve a loss. Take all the time you need! Everyone needs a different amount of time and support.
  
  I second taking time for a break. My engagement was less than 6 months long for a 200 person wedding and I feel like I never got to really stop and just enjoy being engaged and not get overwhelmed with everything. Totally sounds like doing anything wedding right now would just add to your stress. Listen too all the wise ladies on this board and take a break. You deserve it!

  I am sorry to hear about the loss of your Aunt. It sounds like you need to take some time to grieve and put the wedding planning on hold for a bit. It is perfectly okay to take breaks from wedding planning so you don't get too stressed and overwhelmed. It is not something you have to do every minute of every day even though I know it feels like that at times. Judging by your ticker, you should have plenty of time left to finish what you need to.
