I remember reading in one of David Niven’s books how devastating it was to lose his young wife and how he didn’t think he’d ever be able to be happy again, but that with each passing day after his initial period of grief, things got the tiniest, almost imperceptably bit better until finally one day he found himself able to smile again. I hope that will be the case for you as well. My deepest condolences for your loss. ---
