Doing ok. My niece has really helped me. I don't think it's really sunk in that he's truly gone. I used to visit him almost daily at the St. Elizabeth Gundersen Care Center and joined in activities there. When I no longer go there it's really going to hit me hard. Thank you for asking.

@sally2026 It does take time for the reality of loss to sink in. I am glad to hear that your niece is there to help you. You will undoubtedly miss the time you spent at the Care Center. It does sound as if that was an important part of your week.

I would encourage you to read and, if you wish, participate in the Connect support group for Loss and Grief. Here is a link to those discussions: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/loss-grief/. As you look through the discussions, I think you will find other surviving spouses sharing their experiences. I hope you will find this helpful.

In the meantime, please continue to post here. I am looking forward to hearing from you and keeping in touch.
