Grieving is very hard work, emotionally, psycholigically, and physically. Please remember to practice good self care.

Also, any hospice org will provide 13 months of free bereavement counseling to support you through the "year of firsts," birthday, holiday seasons, etc.

And while they are likely slammed right now, there may be online or telephonic support groups, which reall help a lot.

This is the Hospice Foundation of America's grief support resource page link. I hope it is helpful.
