How to Deal With the Death of a Spouse?
3. Socializing
Start with something as simple as answering of mails from your dear ones and the condolences offered by your acquaintances. The more you interact with people, the lesser you will feel lonely and the more comfortable you will become with the absence of our spouse. You can also start making rounds to orphanages, or offer your services to some missionary. This will induce a sense of happiness, responsibility and feel good factor apart from the social contribution you’d be making.
It is really very hard to cope with such a huge loss but to bounce back even in the face of severe adversity is what makes us special. The mourning of the dead cannot bring them back. However, if you feel strongly about them then you can always make a difference by supporting a cause that your spouse believed in and if possible, volunteering for it. They might live forever in the memories of those you help.
