Good Morning All.
Jim, my father has has been gone almost 8 years now, it still grabs me at times, but the times are much farther apart then they were. I'm so sorry for what you are going through.
Jim, you might want to see if your health plan offers grief counseling. I'ved used therapy a few tough times in my life, and it can really help. Sometimes just going to a group therapy session, where people are going through the same pain as you are, helps you all lean on each other to get through. And some one-on-one help with a therapist can also help.
There isn't any quick fix, but the symptoms you are talking about I'd say you should seek out some help. You know your wife wouldn't want you making yourself sick over her loss. Depression is somtimes really hard to fight on your own, and if you are drugging yourself the way you are, you could be taking too much and making it worse. Just my 2 cents.
