 I'm so sorry to hear this. You're in my prayers. I know there's nothing I can do or say to make it hurt any less. If it's any consolation I've been where you are and know first hand what it feels like. It feels like it's never going to get any better and nothing matters anymore. I can tell you now that's not true but I know you're not ready to hear that or believe it. I wasn't. I just had to experience it for myself......slowly......but it did happen.
You're not alone. If you have access to grief counseling I'd encourage you to consider it. Isolation isn't a good thing when you're grieving. I know the last thing you want to do is socialize but talking to a professional or even just a good friend with a soft shoulder can work wonders.
There's several of us here who have lost a spouse and can relate to what you're feeling. Please post here as often as you feel the need. We're here for you. It's hard....feels impossible.....and the hardest time (for me) was the weeks immediately following when everybody seemed to get back to their lives and I was still consumed with grief. I did alot of praying during those days.
I'm so sorry to read this news. You're not alone.
