Recovering from loss: How do I get back to my old self?

Maybe there is a new normal during & after grief, although I don't think
there really is an "after," as I will always grieve for my husband. I keep thinking
I just have to figure out how to live the rest of my life in some meaningful way,
whatever that is. I need a purpose. So, to me the question is how do I find
a meaningful purpose now.
Anyone have any ideas??????????? Any & all welcome........... K

K -- I too will be interested in any responses. My wife passed away unexpectedly 13 weeks ago, and we were married for 52 years. I too have been thinking about how to live the rest of my life in some meaningful way. My adult children have suggested being a volunteer in some manner. I agree with you, I think grief does not end, I believe it just changes over time. For me, it is still early. Yet looking forward, having a purpose will be important. Just need to find it. Best to you.
