All the color drains out of the world. It's gray and cloudy every day. When the phone rings and it's not who you pray it will be, your heart breaks again. You have no interest in food, or in anything else. You either can't sleep or can't wake up.
What I did was drink alcohol. I was stupid. Alcohol depresses you more.
What works is time and taking care of yourself by exercising and eating right. Make yourself be active and engaged with family and friends. Stay connected. If you don't want to destroy photos, letters, keepsakes, pack them up and ask somebody else to store them for you so you can't obsess and keep reopening the wound.
It feels like it will kill you at first, but it won't. You'll see.
