How long will I struggle?

@because Hi because -- My wife passed away unexpectedly in Feb of 2025, and I was in total shock and numb for 3 weeks. Even now, up is down and down is up and absolutely nothing is normal. We were married almost 53 years, and we loved one another very much. You are right, every day is a struggle and unfortunately, that is a fact involving grief. I think the stronger the relationship, the more difficult it is. I've accepted the fact that I will never be the same. It is very difficult trying to find that new life without the person you were with for many years. It is a struggle with no timeline. I try to look at it as 2 steps forward, 1 back. In time, 3 forward and 1 back. Please remember, you are not alone in this difficult time. Wish you well.

I’m in the same situation as you. My wife of 58 years died a month ago. I have no family nearby and am still trying to accept this. I have a grief counselor through hospice and may try a grief group offered by a church. My heart goes out to you and all in this difficult situation. God bless.
