My husband collapsed and died tonight.

259. Big hugs from me. Losing someone suddenly when you think there's more time is the worst...

Hope you're doing as well as can be expected. Everyone feels differently. My dad died 18 months ago (a week before I'd been told he'd probs last another two years) and I couldn't cry, even though I cried like a baby for days after my doggo had to be put to sleep. Obviously I loved my dad far more deeply than my neurotic Chihuahua/foxy x, but dad had cancer and seeing him in so much pain every day wore me down. In the end I felt numb and angry that he died alone because they didn't even bother calling me when he started going downhill because I had covid.

It's the great memories and talking about him with my siblings and his grandkids that helps to keep him alive. I bet after nearly 50 years, there's going to be so many good memories you and your family will have...
