You may well be depressed for a while. This is a major life event and it is going to be hard to deal with. Just try to hang in there as well as you can and trust in family and friends. That's what she would want for you, isn't it? I know before my dad's second wife, the love of his life, died of lung cancer she told him she didn't want him spending the rest of his life moping over her.
