I don't blame you hon. Its only been 10 months. Your wife meant absolutley everything to you and your little girl.
I suspect that when your wife passed away, you had to be strong and supportive for the sake of your daughter- she just lost her mum and she needed her daddy so much that perhaps you simply have not yet been able to grieve for your wife in way you might have done had you not been so strong for your daughter.
Of course youre going to feel so sad, thats completely natural and just proves how much you adored your wife. The bonds of love run deep there especially when you have had a child to together. Your daughter will be a great comfort to you and I believe your wife lives on in your little girl- she's part of her and you'll probably find that by taking care of your daughter- having a focus for life will help you through this.
Theres a history there with you and your wife thats going to remain in your heart forever, although in time, you'll realise that life does go on and you'll find yourself with happy memories of the time you had together.
I know it's a cliche but time is a great healer. No man who has ever loved his life-partner completely would be over her passing in ten months. You need to be allowed to take things at your own pace.
People will tell you to get out and about, join clubs and start living again and although this is good advice, I think that you need to decide to do that when you feel the time is right. That may be now, or it may be later, but don't force yourself to do things that may stir up feelings of guilt and inadequacy- that'll only compound what you're feeling and make things worse.
You sound like a lovely, sensitive man and your little girl is lucky to have youy as her daddy. I would concentrate on your life with your daughter, start off by having fun times together again, get the laughter back in your home and enjoy the closeness you have with eachother.
The other things will come naturally. Take your time, don't feel like you have to keep up the strong, macho image. You must allow yourself to grieve and I promise that in time, things will get better.
Good luck

I am very sorry about your loss, you are suppose to feel sad. I lost a son 14 years ago, he was 15. You will always have an empty place in your heart, that empty place is there to hold all the wonderful memories. Don't try to make it go away, don't let anybody take away your grief, or tell you how long you should grieve. Just don't let it obsess you. You have your daughter, you are lucky.

I am so sorry for your loss. I saw my mother go through a tragedy as well when my father passed away in an accident. When he died my sis and I were 15 and 12. My mother was devastated but I think what helped her was going to church. She never had went before and I think going and getting into a group of supportive people was extremely beneficial. I do recommend counseling for you and especially your child. It is hard enough being a kid let alone - losing your mom.. God Bless

Grief is a technique to be worked with the aid of. There are actually not any shortcuts, and all and sundry does it in a distinctive way. i can only grant a pair of innovations that helped me while i substitute into scuffling with the grief of a cherished kinfolk member. the 1st is to jot down. Write approximately him-- ideas, what he meant to you, and so on. Or write TO him. A letter telling him how he made your existence extra suitable, how plenty you omit him, and so on. Make it cathartic. Take some time and ensure you may nicely be on my own for no less than some hours. image spilling your grief into the internet site. enable your self to extremely communicate from the middle, understanding no person will study this yet you. and then, once you're executed, do what feels ultimate with the paper. Burn it, positioned it in a secure place, bury it inclusive of your pal. in spite of feels ultimate. yet enable something of the angst, the painful grief, circulate with that letter. the different element that sometimes enables is to do something in his honor. A donation, paintings on a community venture, a tree planted with him in ideas. between the flaws that makes grief so debilitating is that experience of powerlessness, of dropping administration of a factor of your existence. To do something effective and proactive enables you experience extra on top of issues, able to harness the capability of grief and use it for a good element. stable success to you. I wish you the final.
