People who lost their partner or someone close in their lives: What were the first few hours/days like after their passing?

I lost a close friend in a car accident. The first few hours and days were complete shock. When someone dies, people come together. There are dinners, visitations, lots of support everywhere you can find.

It wasn’t until the “excitement” died down and the thought to text him popped into my head that I truly felt the weight and pain of him being gone.
