Ughh, grief is so hard. Its been surroundong me for some time.
It hits so unexpectedly and it takes so much work but you just have to learn to work with it, not against it.
Grief counseling might be helpful and there are a lot of free resources. There might even be some over the phone counseling during this time of social distancing.
If you need someone to talk to, reach out, i know its hard, and confusing, and ever changing.
Sending so much love to you.

Have to take it one day at a time, it may be dark and cloudy, but the sun will return.

I’m sorry for the loss of your beloved husband. May you find comfort in the memory of his love.
Drinking won’t fix this or make you feel better. Maybe you can find a support group for people who have lost their spouse. Perhaps talking to people who are going through this kind of grief will help.
