    Hi Ginga,

    I am so sorry for the loss of your wife I know it is so devstating. Somehow you will get through these horrible times even though it probably doesn't feel like it at present.

    Please try some bereavement counselling if you feel that would help you, it isn't for everyone but I'm sure it can help. 

    My wife passed away in June 2018 and I understand what you are going through, but this isn't about me.

    Like you I have two grown up children and it's so hard to appear to be strong in front up them as you might feel you don't want to burden them. 

    I wish you and your family all the best for the future in these terribly sad times.

    Chris
