Joe,
My heart goes out to you. I lost my husband and best friend, love of my life, on November 5, 2008. I feel as though my world has come to an end. Life goes on around me, but I seem to be just looking on and moving in slow motion. I have read countless books, but the one I found most helpful is "On Grief and Grieving" by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. I am now reading it for the second time. The tears are still coming for me, too. It seems like the slightest thing can set me off, especially when someone asks me how I'm doing or expresses sympathy. I also found that writing my thoughts in a journal helps. For me, it is easier to write on the computer so I have kept an electronic journal since December. It helps me to talk to him as we used to do, to tell him about my day, to pour out my sorrow and just let the tears flow. They say tears are part of the healing process. I am not sure I will ever heal, but, with God's help, I try to make it through each day and night. God bless you and the others who are grieving.
