My husband, with whom I lived for 30 years, died. I don't want to live. What to do?translated

Reader question:

Hello. My husband, with whom I lived for 30 years, died. For me he was the meaning of life, he replaced my family, friends, children, and everything, everything in the world. I cry every day and can’t live without him. I have no one else. I was left alone. I can’t work - I cry at work. Home is empty and cold. I don't see the point in life. I read the Psalter and it doesn’t let me go at all. I don't want to live.
