I am sorry for your loss. My husband of 17 years passed away 12/5/18. That may not seem like a long marriage but it was a lifetime for us. We were never apart except for work and could not wit until we got home in the evening to talk about the day. We were blessed with a very good life. But now my heart is broken and I cant seem to function. People say it will be fine you'll be ok but the pain is unbearable. I think I want to be alone and then I am so lonely but do nothing but cry when I'm around other people. The hurt will never go away.

When people ask me how I am I say.."I'm not fine, I'm not good...I'm doing the best I can." That is my truth..
Would it be helpful for you to find a support group to sit and talk with those who have experienced our kind of loss?
Sometimes being able to talk in a "safe space" is extremely helpful..no judgments, no time frames, just speaking your truth..
As far as how long you were married, doesn't matter..we lost our life partners...and with them went our life as we knew it.
I'm so sorry..:(
