I feel for you. I think you can only take one day at a time.

Take it hour by hour if you have to. Live in the now, the future is overwhelming and painful to think about just now.
Put one foot in front of the other and go slowly, taking in one thing at time.
This raw and all consuming part will pass but for now just cry scream, whatever it takes to get through.

Just over 8 weeks since I lost my partner. It’s a struggle and feels so overwhelming in the early days.
Tiny steps. Hour by hour, one cup of tea to the next. I used to tick off getting through the morning and then look at the afternoon as another part of the day. Break it down into chunks. Sometimes just getting out of bed and dressed is a victory. Don’t be too hard on yourself.
It’s a hideous thing to go through but there’s lots of support here. Even just reading messages or replying to people focuses me on something else that isn’t just crying and dwelling on everything.

I am so sorry to hear the sad news about your wife. I lost my husband last Thursday. Here if you need to talk.
Aww, so sorry to hear that, going to be very tough and a long road to anything near normality.
