Loss of wife: Still having a hard time sleeping. Alone a lot.

I am trying to stay busy but can’t bear to be at home. The evenings and nights are so hard - but other things trigger tears. Falling asleep is hard but I seem to wake up at 2 or 3 in the morning and can’t get back to sleep. I cry then -
It’s been just over 6 weeks and it’s not getting better.
Maybe a support group is what I need but I also find it hard to talk to people

Exactly how I feel after losing my wife 5 months ago. Do you have family close by? Any company helps. My Dr prescribed an anxiety med that seems to help falling to sleep. I tried without it last night until 3am then took it. Works in a short time.
I think evening are worse as your mind is not occupied and roams. Keep yourself busy as long as you can before bedtime.
