@dennismm - I am not sure how long it has been since your wife passed away. It could be you are displaying a huge amount of grief. My wife and I were married for 52 years when she passed away at our home in the middle of the night unexpectedly only six weeks ago. She passed away due to heart failure. I did join an in-person support group, and our first meeting was today which I found helpful to be able to discuss the challenges with others going through the same as me. None of this is easy. The shock lasted with me for a month. I would absolutely suggest fining a support group or a grief counselor. Best to you and take care of yourself.

Wow, I thought. I had it bad losing her after 40 years, but you were 52!!
That is even worse and believe me, I feel your pain and know what you are going through. My wife died in 2015 but it doesn’t seem that long ago. I remember exactly what happened when the paramedics showed up.
I tried the group therapy and one on one therapy but it didn’t help me. I’m very happy if it helped you!!
