will it get better?
Leo,
First, your grief is normal and to be expected.
You will get through this initial period following this very "earth-shattering" loss, with the love & friendship & support of all those who know & care for you. Seek them out...they will be honored you did.
If you are a member of a church, synagogue, or temple, please share this trial with your church-family also.
You are never alone so long as you can see and accept the hand(s) reaching out to help you.
Please do not try to walk through this alone or lonely. Get with people...this is not a time to "hibernate" or withdraw.

Leo, we are told to be "thankful at all times", but in the shock & sorrow of your loss, this can seem a difficult time to do so.
When you can, take time to consider how very blessed you were to have had the love of the wife that you now understandably miss so much. Genuine love such as that remains with you forever. Many people live their entire life without such a gift, even for a short while.
Your wife loved & cared for you very much, Leo...and she always wanted the very best for you...never forget that. Right now that includes making sure you're eating/sleeping/resting well, and taking good care of yourself.
Like so very many have learned when their world seemed turned upside-down, just get through each day in the healthiest way possible...and just live one day at a time, in the company of all those who care for you.
That would make your wife happy, I'm sure. You certainly never wanted her to suffer, and she doesn't want you to be in pain now.
HTH & please know we'll be here for you, also.
