that the dark days will not last forever. Having lost my husband very suddenly 17 years ago, the thing I remember most about the period after his death is that family and friends (and the angels) held me aloft. I don't know how I would have made it had it not been for others. If you don't have family/friends nearby, try to find a grief counselor or social worker or a bereavement circle where you can talk with others in real time.
