I am getting married in less than 2 weeks and my Mom is so depressed what can I do ??

It is going to be hard for her for a little while, but if she loves you she will get over it. If you love your fiance and he treats you right you have hit the jackpot. Your mom is probably feeling like she is going to be alone without you. I suggest you and your fiance sit down with her and let her know that she is gaining a son and in no way will you stop being in her life. And wait until the grandchildren start coming, she'll forget all about you.:-)

You know that you aren't a baby any more, and so does your mom ... but your wedding is 'fast approaching' and that is a 'time of nostalgia' for your mother.She's sad to be 'losing you' in one way, even though she's probably also 'very happy' for you in another way. Set aside one day ... two or three days before the 'big event' and have a 'whole day' together ...start with you fixing her breakfast in bed, then go do some 'shopping' (but not buying much) for things you may like to have in your new place, then have a 'very expensive lunch' somewhere, and 'finish it off' with the two of you sitting on the couch looking at all of the 'old photos' of you when you were 'little' ... at the end, give her a big warm hug, and thank her for 'bringing you up so well' and tell her that you are glad that she's still here to 'see you get married' and to 'help you be married' and to 'raise your children' (if you intend to have them or adopt them) because she did 'such a good job' with you. Your mom will be 'all smiles' when the 'big day' comes, and you'll have started being her 'married daughter' and not just 'her little girl' ...

You must have a wonderful relationship with your mother!

Your Mom knows that once married, your husband will be first in your life. As much as she loves him, she's still very aware that she is losing the relationship she's treasured all of these years.

Yes, she's gaining a son-in-law but she's losing her "best friend".

Some people aren't real good at accepting change.

This is a bitter sweet time for her and it's going to take some time to adjust to for her.

Be patient with her and let her grieve.

It's not simply a matter of losing a child or letting go, it's also a matter of accepting that you're old now and and it's a matter of having to accept that you're not going to go home to mother any more as you build your new life. There is profound change ahead for your mother and if you've ever experienced profound change I'm sure you can understand that it's going to take a while to blow over.

For some people those are terrible things to have to face. Fortunately we all have to face them eventually and we all survive the experience. I'm sure she'll be ok eventually once the new paradigm sinks in and she gets used to it.

It doesn't matter ow old you are, girl, you will always be her baby. It's hard letting go. It was the same with my mother when I got married. She loves my husband, but it wasn't easy for her to give me away. The best thing to do is spend some good quality time with her. Make her laugh, have some fun and assure her that you love her. It won't be easy, no matter what you do, but you can make it hurt a little less. Congratulations on your marriage!

This is no longer your problem. Your mom will need to find a way to deal with this in her own time. I am very happy for you. Congratulations. Just because you are getting married does not mean that your mom is losing her daughter. It means that she is gaining a great son-in-law.

That's so sweet she will get better with time, she just needs to get use to the idea.

Good luck with your marriage, don't come back and ask usual questions married people ask on this site.

parents are never ready to let go of their child no matter how old they are....after the honeymoon, why not schedule bi yearly trips with just her and you for quality time.

she is your mom all you can do is keep telling her you love her and she will get over it after the wedding

She'll be fine there's probably something wrong with her life and seeing you move on hurts her but that's her issue not yours.
