Liz, I don’t think anyone knows what it is like to lose their hubby/partner unless they go through it.  The impact of the loss of your hubby is felt more by you than anyone.  You are the one who is facing him not being there all the time.  As much as our loved ones may feel for us it is a different experience for them, as they go and they get caught up in their life.  You are the one whose life has been impacted more than anyone.  You are facing so may things now, going home to an empty home, not having to check in with someone, not hearing how his day went, someone to share how you feel with.  It is not longer Liz and hubby, it is a huge adjustment, plus missing him.  It will take time.  I know that we all grieve differently.  I find it tough sometimes as I want to talk about losing my grandbaby and other people deal with it by not talking.  I have to respect their way, but have to find a way to help me grieve to suit me.  I think the support group is a good outlet for you as if it is people who have gone through losing their partner and they understand more than anyone who has not gone through it.
I am sure that you know all this stuff Liz, but I just want you to be patient with yourself and allow yourself to grieve.  As you know it is good days, bad days and all you can do is tke it one day at a time and be patient with yourself and allow yourself to grieve.  Thinking of you!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
