Oh trucker. I'm so very sorry. There really aren't any words that feel adequate for something like this. What a horrible shock. I can imagine so many different emotions swirling about, and that has to be overwhelming.
I guess the only advice I have is to try not to hold everything in all the time. I find it helps to have a safe place and a trusted ear to let out whatever emotions are going on with me and to talk through how to cope. Of course, I'm biased given my career path and my own positive experience with my therapy.
But I do think this can help, as I think Dee said, too. I'm a big believer in finding someone you can trust to talk through this stuff. That could be a therapist, a trusted friend or family member, someone in the clergy--whoever seems right for you. And do post here if it's helpful. I just wish that seeing your name pop up again was under happier circumstances.
Take gentle care of yourself.
