People in love hope to live their whole lives together and happily. And they live until death do them part. And suddenly the person who was there yesterday, smiled, walked around the room and woke up next to him - disappears. It is useless to search for it and it is impossible to return it. Despair comes, and then the realization of the terrible, but inevitable - she died. She's gone. A woman who has been a beloved wife for many years will never again enter the door of your shared apartment. How to survive the death of your wife?
Instructions
Step 1
Think that your wife loved you. She would not want you to be hurt and hard. You do not see her body, but her soul is always there, she lives in your heart and will always live there.
Step 2
Get rid of guilt if it weighs on you because you couldn't do anything. There are things that do not depend on a person. People are unable to prevent death. This is not your fault.
Step 3
Think about your loved ones: parents, children, friends. They are with you and are experiencing your loss. But they are even more worried about your condition. These people are ready to support, understand and help to continue living a fulfilling life. They need you as much as you need their support.
Step 4
If you cannot cope on your own, try seeking help from an experienced psychotherapist.
Step 5
Remember, life is not over. The pain of loss is stronger than physical, sometimes it leads to a state of apathy and an absolute unwillingness to live without a loved one. But life is given once, everyone has their own - someone is longer, someone is shorter. Your wife's life path, as it turned out, was shorter than yours, but your life goes on.
Step 6
Do not withdraw into yourself - this way you can lose your mind. Surround yourself with communication, look for new activities, get an animal. Just don't leave yourself all alone, alone with desperate thoughts.
Step 7
Don't turn your home into a museum in memory of your wife. Of course, you need to leave photographs, memorabilia as a keepsake, but you should not leave her clothes in the closet, her toothbrush in the bathroom, creating the illusion of presence. It will only make it harder, but you can't get her back this way anyway.
Step 8
Continue to do what you did before, what every person needs. You have to eat, sleep, do your personal hygiene, go to work. Let life take its course.
Step 9
Remember: your wife loved you. Go to her grave, keep her memory. You can talk to her, tell her what is going on with you. She would be glad that you continue to live.
