hello friends

i lost my husband 2 weeks ago after 3.5 months of him being in vegetative mode. i can't even describe the sorrow. it was a long exhausting goodbye and the loss feels like great fear more than anguish. i want to learn from you what helped you in the first period of the loss to bounce back. i function quite well- but still i feel this void. terrible feeling of "why do we bother". i suffer also for his suffering during his life as a vegetable. i am 55. he was only 62. can you share your wisdom with me please?
