You have suffered a tremendous loss, and although it may seem like the pain will never go away, you will adjust to your loss after you take the needed time to grieve (average intense grieving is 18-24 months). We go through many different emotions during our grieving. You may get scared and uncomfortable with some of the feelings you are having. If you are concerned with what/how you are feeling, please don't hesitate to seek help at any time from a qualified professional.

Here are some links to resources that I have found useful in my own grief journey. Some of these articles will help you now, and others you will find more comforting at some time in the future when the pain is less intense:
