My suggestion is to come here and express your grief whether it be sadness, anger, disbelief, numbness...what ever form it takes. There is no judgement here. There is a book out there called "The Courage to Grieve" that I found helpful. Maybe try it when you are able to concentrate better.
I am not a grief counselor, but I have experienced a recent loss of a loved one. I also have been a Hospice RN for a few years. That being said, it is important for you to know you are not alone and that what you are feeling is normal. It is okay to grieve in your way and on your timeline.

Jules,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your husband was very young. My husband was older, but I know what you mean about sudden death. Family is important at this time. I hope you have someone to help with the children. It's important to have others there for us. I'm sure you will find this site helpful. It has been a blessing to me.
This is beyond overwhelming. I am so sorry for your loss and for the hardships it has brought on. Do you have family to give emotional support? Is there someone who can help with the children for awhile?
My heart goes out to you Jules!

The Mayo Clinic defines complicated grief as follows:
During the first few months after a loss, many signs and symptoms of normal grief are the same as those of complicated grief. However, while normal grief symptoms gradually start to fade over time, those of complicated grief linger or get worse. Complicated grief is like being in an ongoing, heightened state of mourning that keeps you from healing.
Signs and symptoms of complicated grief may include:
