I am so sorry when a loving couple have to go through the death of one of them, for I know from experience that the absence is there with you every minute of the day, and coping or rising above the pain is an impossibility. I hope someone else that loves him will stand by him and make sure he takes the time to smell the flowers and celebrate her life.
