Thanks for answering. Nice to know there's other folks out there. Last Sunday, first day was the worst. Variety of emotions, my wife died in my arms, stopped breathing, maybe another stroke. I feel smothered some times. Hope this isn't too harsh.

Grief is a process and is different for everyone, but you do deserve a life of joy. Did you do grief counseling? Or join a grief recovery group? It is good to surround yourself with others that can empathize and guide you through your next steps as well as validating what you are feeling. It makes you understand the season you are in is normal. Reach out and be in community.

I joined a local weekly grief group at a church, seems ok. Very hard to get things done.
