Well talking about it on here is a good start, as talking about it does seem to help a lot of people, so continue to do so.
As Julie suggested it sounds like talking to a councillor would be a good idea, have a search online to see what is available in the area where you live, also don't overlook your own doctor, as they don't just give medical advice, some doctors can really empathise and relate to how you are feeling. I was pleasantly surprised the lengths my own doctor went to after losing my wife just over 8mths ago, even phoned me up one night at 10.50pm to check if I was okay, simply because I had failed to phone him at 5pm in his surgery as he had requested the previous week, some doctors can be very caring.
