My sister lost her husband suddenly, leaving her to raise two small boys(the younger being only 3).
She had a lot of anger and questioning for a very long time and finally decided to seek help.
One of the things that worked for her in moving forward was a suggestion by her therapist. She was told to write a letter to her deceased husband-pour out her anger, her loneliness, everything she could think of. Then she was told to read it and then burn it. It was something akin to 'letting him go' so she could move forward. Her nightmares went away and she was able to go about the task of living again after she did it.
It takes time and when your grief is no longer a comfort, you'll know.
I wish you the best.
