I know how you feel. The longer you have been together, the worse it is. Our 63rd anniversary (if my husband was still alive) will be coming up in July. I am still in deep grief. I am very old, but thankfully still independent. I have no people to support me. At 90 I do not know how many more years I may have. Thankfully I do not seem to have any major illnesses. I wonder if all the drugs older people take make them worse. I am not an anti-vaccer. But personally I do not do well with drugs and have to be extremely careful due to adverse reactions. I just lived day by day and still do. Still spend many days just lying in bed and crying. I am not sure anyone can tell you what to do. We all experience grief in our own way.

@thisismarilynb - I think you are right, the longer you have been together, the worse it is. My wife passed away unexpectedly at our home on Feb 13, 2025, and we were married 52 years last May. Not sure how I'm going to deal with our anniversary this coming May. She was my best friend, and we did everything together, did a lot of traveling and I love her dearly. I have joined an in-person support group for those who lost a spouse or partner, first meeting in 7 days. And there are some on-line support groups as well. Not sure if Connect has an on-line support group. I hope in the near future you can find some relief from your grief. Wish you well. Ed
