I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I too lost m,y husband just over 3 weeks ago. I send thoughts and prayers your way.

I'm so sorry. Of course you're still in shock.

Remember you don't have to make any huge, life changing decisions right away, It's one day at a time, (kind of like Alcoholics Anonymous) or one HOUR at a time.. Do you have children? Or siblings to lean on?

I am sorry to hear you lost your wife. It must've been hard being her caregiver for the last 14 years. I too lost my husband last Labor Day, 2019 after a long battle with cancer. I send my prayers to you.
