When my wife and child died in August of 1998, I didn't know what to do either. I was in the military, 1000 miles away from my family and because I was in training, I only could use the phone on Sundays. I went into such a shock, I remember almost nothing for 5 MONTHS! You don't have to surround yourself, you don't have to put on a facade. Let people know how you feel. If I didn't I wouldn't be here. Go to your friends and especially your family. Who helped me most was my wife's mother. She lost a daughter and we could discuss it. Your husband's family lost a son when you lost your husband. Someone in his family might be ready to talk with you, but if you don't want too, don't push it. Email me if you need to chat. May God be with you and everyone on these pages.
