Clare, So sorry for your loss. I lost my wife of 52 years almost a year ago.
On here we do understand. People who have not been through the grief that you feel just cannot know. I still grieve but have been lucky. A friend of my wife, they had known each other since they were 5 had lost her husband some years before. She understood we could talk, when it got to much she just said tea and disappeared for a bit and returned with the tea. Our village has set up a bereavement cafe it meets on the 3rd Sunday of the month, Oddly it is run by a couple who are retired undertakers. They are just great. There is a meeting tomorrow the 2nd Sunday because of Easter. Your boys will help. I miss my wife so much but I am glad that she saw my son get married and the 2 grandchildren arrive ( 2 and 4 ) I try and look back at all the good times we had, Was being with her and the happy times worth this grief. It is hard but i am glad I knew her, loved her and was with her for more than 52 years. If you think about it I am sure you will agree, although it really does hurt. I saw this somewhere " Time does not heal a heartbreak, nor stop a silent tear, nor take away the memories of one we held so dear. " Hang on to those happy memories go back and relive them is what I try and do.

Iām sorry for your loss. I lost my husband in September, less than 8 weeks after his cancer diagnosis.
He had been battling for 10 months to recover from a stroke and then we got that diagnosis.
Life can be cruel and the grief crushing but that is the downside to having loved somebody so much.

But try to remember the joy that loving them brought us.
