February 13th? My good sir, you're in a state of shock. It's happened. It's real. If you feel you need to sit on the side of the bed and cry, do so. No stiff upper lip needed. No need to make any decisions about anything right now. Leave everything as is around the house.
About me. My wife died 10 years ago after a tortuous illness. It was a few years before I could even say died, and not passed away. Died almost seem too harsh. I generally talk to her everyday. I allow myself the grief that I still feel.

@luffing - Yes, I feel that I am in a state of shock and time has stood still. Nothing has moved in my house at all. I am getting through the day and so far, today, I've had 2 conversations with my wife. Everything you said is 100% true and perhaps only those who have been through this can truly understand which is why I honestly appreciate your advice. I try to keep in mind the 52 fantastic years we had together. I know grief is part of the healing and I can only hope the waves of grief become less over time. Yet, I doubt they will ever disappear. Thank you!!
