My wife also passed away unexpectedly in her sleep in 2016. My heart aches for Matt. I don't know him or his wife, but I know the feeling of being unmoored. In fact I've used that same word to describe it. I agree that people never know how to act about the situation. It's weird now to think of all of the people I have met who only know me as a widower, who never knew me when my wife was alive. I appreciated the outpouring of support I received in the immediate aftermath. It was overwhelming, but not unwelcome.
