That is a lot to go through. Yes, anxiety and depression do go hand in hand. What are the doctors doing to help you with the anxiety? I have health anxiety and it became worse after I lost my husband. You are very fortunate to have a supportive wife. Always cherish that. My therapist always encourages me to write in a journal first thing in the morning but not about anxiety or depression but what I am grateful for. Writing down what we are grateful for gets the mind away from our worries. I just can’t seem to shake this woozy feeling I am told is anxiety so I do try to keep busy. Going to get back into exercise as well. I know this can help boost the mood.

Not sure what morning routines you follow or interests that appeal to you. Journaling in the morning is a good start. It’s quiet peaceful relaxed atmosphere. But also can be very isolating and lonely. My wife still works so my routine is wake up early. 430-5 am. Feed the cats. Have some coffee. Do a few online puzzles while I wait for her to wake up. We share an hour together every morning talking about whatever. Drinking our coffee. It is sometimes the highlight of the day. It’s moments like this that make me wonder what I would do if she wasn’t around. I can only imagine what you must go through. But please remember you’re not alone. Grief counseling and groups. Therapists. A whole array of people at your disposal. Yes the loss of a loved one hurts. Always. Time heals but it takes awhile and it’s difficult to navigate. But you’ll know when it’s time to move on. Cob webs clear from the brain and things get easier. I hope this helps.
