Hi betweenwaves,
I am very sorry for your loss. I come and go on this website and occasionally comment.
The pain and grief that we feel can just be overwhelming. I lost my high school sweetheart 5 years ago after 34 years of marriage. All of a sudden, the future seems inconsequential and unimportant. I try to live each moment and just do the next thing...whatever it might be. Maybe just doing the laundry or making the bed. I had a very hard time with the deafening quiet in my house so I spent many evenings just driving around for an hour or so sipping on a Starbucks. Seems pitiful sometimes but it helped some.
Here I am 5 years later, somehow getting through life. I have no plan other than to visit my daughter's family and 3 grandkids every month (they are in Ohio, I'm in Albuquerque). Work keeps me busy but is unfulfilling. It is hard to imagine ever having the love I once had.
I hope your day to day becomes easier for you as time goes on and you have people around you who understand that they are best for you when they do a lot more listening than talking.
I really wish you all my best, Bruce
