How does a person deal with the loss of their spouse and how do they move on from such loss?
No one can really tell you how it is. It is different for everyone. There are quotes and lines of thinking that sound good one day, and maybe not so much the next. People love to say something, even when they aren’t sure if it’s the right thing to say to you specifically.
The truth is, you’re already a different person after the loss. The best way to survive is to take time to find your balance again, and keep moving. Maybe incorporating more of the aspects you admire in that person into your life.
My husband committed suicide almost 20 years ago. I think I was probably in a daze for about the first six months, but time does make things easier. I also figured out pretty quickly that I needed to go out and do things and get on with life, and that helped.
