And the family member who dies young is often remembered in idealized ways. My aunt was named for her mother's baby sister who died at age two, and the whole family still talks about this little girl (who died in 1929!) being so beautiful and adored by everyone. I'm sure she was in many ways, but these exaggerated beliefs are a reflection of grief that was never allowed to heal and that got passed down. Even worse, my poor grandmother blamed herself for getting her sister sick by "bringing home measles from school." BTW, I found the baby's death certificate and saw that she had measles but died of TB, something no one had told my grandmother! She was shocked. She'd tortured herself for 80 years. 😞 I hope that news brought her some peace.

The aunt’s dress was an absolutely gorgeous timeless classic.

[@jessie68ify]

The grandmother wants to “reincarnate” her daughter through her grandchild. Yes your grandchild looks like her and has her name but that is not her. She is her own person not your daughter. Now maybe see if your granddaughter would wear your daughters wedding veil as her something borrowed.

[@jujujewel2172]

Yes she's projecting onto her, but the girl is not reincarnated she just shares some genetic similarities... the grandma needs to let her be her own person -the niece of the deceased aunt, not a replica Yes offering something as a borrowed, or old?? would be nice, if she chooses, maybe take something from the aunts outfit, Something not too obvious though, just to honour her, give granny some respect, but only if it fits in. The veil she had on suited it beautifully so she should be and sounded very pleased with it, saying it made the dress, when the dress was gorgeous in and of itself, but the traditional aspect I think is what the granny was alluding to as that's what it sounded like she was wanting, (besides ressurecting her daughter and having her live again through the granddaughter, which is kinda heartbreaking, & tough for the girl to live up to such expectations) she's living in the past a bit, but they all seemed to think it was a "Southern" thing, they said

[@melrobertson2743]

There's a sarcastic side of me that would have snarked at granny that after twenty years she needs to love her granddaughter for who SHE IS and not because she looks like her aunt, miss her and love her but let her rest in peace

[@booklover466]

It’s so creepy how the grandmother wants to reincarnate her dead daughter through her granddaughter.

[@falllingraindrops1543]

Especially since the granddaughter isn’t her deceased daughter’s daughter. I understand it can be very hard to let go. Because no parent should ever have to bury their kid. But the force another person’s life on another for some reason, it’s just rude. Not only rude but it’s traumatizing for the person.

[@Xippederror]

I understand why the grandma wanted her to wear the dress. My grandparents lost both of their children, and throughout my childhood I’ve realized how hard it is to lose someone, and especially a child. I think she really was a sweet lady, and even though she got a little upset that Leah didn’t wear the dress, she still came around in the end. They all seem like a sweet family regardless.

[@samanthacline1265]

You’re absolutely right. Granny’s love for her family really shines through. She just needs some help with her grief, and Leah getting married probably brought a lot of what’s been brewing underneath to the surface. Leah recognized that a little bit of lace means a lot to her, and that’s why she compromised on the laced veil.

[@lyrabloodwolf2171]

It’s sad that Leah has to live in the shadow of someone she’s never even met. The moment the grandmother actually let Leah choose a dress that didn’t look at all like the heirloom dress might have actually been a bit of a breakthrough.

[@lallicelzia9397]

[@misspriss2482]

That dress was amazing and was very flattering on her. However, if the bride doesn't like it or feel comfortable in it, she shouldn't wear it. Period.
