My husband also died of sudden heart attack while in CO (we live in WA) where he was seeing his Mom in nursing home.
You are normal what you are going through, your intitial shock is wearing off somewhat, facing the reality the first few months is tough, many first as you go along are tough but right now take good care of yourself, emotionally as best you can, but physically.
You can come here vent, cry whatever these people here understand. I know the wedding will be tough so close, but come here and let it out. HUGS

Take baby steps and try to just breathe. Big Hug.
My son was married 7 weeks after my husband died and the day was bittersweet. Happiness and sadness went hand in hand.

I am so sorry for your loss. My dear husband passed away unexpectedly in his sleep on May 4, 2010 - almost a year ago. He had just turned 52 also. It was the most devastating thing that I had ever experienced. I was so lucky to have found DS - the support, understanding and friendship that I have found here has been invaluable to me. I can only hope and pray that you find the same. I hate to have to welcome you to this group - as the price that you had to pay to become a member is the highest, but I am glad that you have found us.
This month has been difficult for me once again - it's like one step forward and three steps back as my husband's birthday is next Friday, the one year mark is May 4 and then his daughter is getting married May 7th. So I truly understand what you're feeling.
Sending a hug to you,
Chris
