I’m so sorry for your loss, **jsgoddess**. Words are inadequate somehow. The feeling of numbness and “unreality” help you make it through the coming days. Take good care, and be good to yourself. Accept whatever offers of help you get. I’ve not been in your shoes, but my husband died suddenly in his 30s. It was a long time ago, but I remember the feeling of unreality, and the urge to do everything at once. \ ---
