I'm new here!

Hi, my name is AnnieJess12B. I'm here because my husband died nine weeks ago after over seven years of multiple myeloma (a blood cancer). For the last year of his life I was a full time carer, leaving me completely drained both physically and mentally. I have been busy sorting through all of John's things and trying to 'get my home back' in some kind of organised way. I neglected many home chores while running him back and forth to the hospital or visiting with food and clean clothes.
How have others managed their grief while trying to get back their own lives? I'm still quite teary at times, especially if someone is overly sypathetic to my new widowed state.
