I am truly sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm not sure what to tell you, no doubt the pain is very fresh still for you. I think it will take some time before you can honestly say you're getting through it. It's ok to not be ok right now, and cry if you need to.
But as you mentioned, responsibility is very real. I think it will be important for you to take that 20min. per day alone to just wallow in your feelings or meditate/rest. When that time is done, attack your day with all the positive energy you can for the support of your child and everything else you have to do during the course of the day. Bear in mind, I'm not a doctor, and would like to suggest you visit with one or a therapist for suggestions and support to help "hold you together," until you can fully stand on your own two feet.
I hope you also will continue to visit EmpowHER as a form of support. There are a lot of caring people here who want to see you well again and help you through your grief. You will get through this, and the tears will diminish in time. I believe that those you have loved stay in your heart forever--let them put a smile on your face when you are reminded--no doubt your little boy is a reminder. You can be a help to him by helping him remember his dad and answering his questions with an adult's wisdom. I wish you peace in this hard time.
Warmest regards,
Christine
