{{{gotti}}} As far as advice tl the newly widowed, from experience, I would tell you that you’re in for som sucky days. Lean on those who love and care about you (the MMP counts ). The sucky days will become fewer and farther between at some point and you’ll begin to feel human again. YMMV.
I got my photos back. There are some really interesting ones in there. I also noticed that the pics of my dad tend to have been taken by someone with less photography skill than the ones I assume Dad took.
