Welcome stardust,
I lost my husband in January 12, 2015, I've missed him everyday since. I think about him every day. I am very sorry for your loss.
Grieving a loving husband, is not the easiest thing in the world. But you will manage and learn to live without him. It will not be easy. Give yourself permission to feeling the loss and cry when and where you need to. Don't let anyone tell you how to grieve, do what feels right for you. In my journey that I am on, to keep my mind busy, I took up crocheting. crocheting gave me the opportunity to take breaks in my saddness. When I stopped, I remembered him and I allowed myself to cry. There are days when I still cry, I miss him so much.
I also tried group counsellin, but it wasn't for me. I've been very lucky that hospice in my area offers one on one counselling. I would suggest trying it out if your in an area that has the services. Your daughter may enjoy one on one counselling. It gives you the freedom to talk about your husband without any judgment from others. Free to express the love that you miss and the ability to bring that love with you every day.
it does get easier, but for me it has not gone. I expect it will never go away. I talk to him every day, I wish him good morning everyday, I tell him I love him and I say good night to him every night.
yout loss is recent, be kind to yourself and grieve the way you need to; do it for yourself.
People say take down pictures of him, I say put as many pictures up as you want. It's a nice feeling to see that smiling face. It was something I did and it helped me. i still get up every morning and do......I go to work, even though I don't want to.....but, it's what has helped me. Get up and jsut do it, eventually it will get easier.
And i visit him as much as I can, I take him beautiful flowers or small treasues that I find on trips I do. Just my way of sharing the trip with him.
when I get those big waves of grief, I tell myself "your ok, you just miss him" it's exactly what im feeling. Most times this is when I allow myself to cry.
I'm sending you hugs and some love your way ❤️,
