John, I just went through a very similar experience. Lost my mom two years ago and it seems like yesterday. My best advice is to find a project and stay busy. However you need to be strong and available for everyone else, especially the little guy. I never really had a chance to greive because I had to be strong for the rest of my family. Looking back, not only did it make me a stronger person, it held the family together during a really tough time. I'm not a religious person, so that spiritual stuff doesn't really work for me. I'm guessing you're in the same boat and you just need to understand that death is part of life. A very big and important part. A loss such as yours can be a tremendous blow, but with the right mindset you can get back up and finish the fight. Get control and be strong brother, your energy will lift everyone around you.
