My father is in a very similar situation, my mohter having passed away about 5 months ago. IT's hard on him being suddenly alone. He told me it hit him when he arrived at the house and NOBODY was there, for the first time he could remember. It was particualrly hard because for the last couple of years he'd been looking after my Mum pretty intensively, so the shock of being alone hit him.
That must help a lot.My father was fortunate in that I still live at home, so he wasn't completely alone.
