    That's very sad for you. I'm glad you went to the dr.

    Have you friends you could talk to?

    Is there a bereavement support group near you?

    I'm so sorry to hear of your position. You are not alone however. We all grieve differently, some get over it in hours, others days and weeks. For some it takes months and for a rare few years or indeed some never get over it.

    As December said, it is a good thing to have gone to GP. You really need to talk to someone as well, not especially about your loss, but to open your mind to other subjects and perhaps get out of the house. Living alone is a lonely station as well. Are you near a town or village, that you might go for coffee or a drink if you are so minded.

    If you are religious, your clergyman might be another option.

    Good luck and again, my sympathies on your loss.
