Very sorry to hear of your loss. I find it good to talk with friends and family. I have also joined a counselling group for parents who have lost a partner. I know I have a big responsibility with our son to make sure I don't enter into a despair and as we work through this together I think it is good to have people watching over us to make sure we are doing OK. I find it comforting also that I am not the only one going through this situation.
Thank you for the comment.
