So sorry Aggi there's no set time scale for grieving as we all cope in our own way. I got two weeks compassionate leave from work but felt like I could have done with another week - then probably still wouldn't have been completely ready.
As for getting rid of stuff, I simply waited for the next charity bag to come and offloaded some items that way but I've still got his best coat, his football shirt, an apron and a scarf - likely a few other things I didn't want to part with and maybe never will.
I had to keep plodding on. I washed and dressed each morning and off to buy a daily newspaper whether I felt like it or not. I was immeasurably sad but still managed to put one foot in front of the other - personal pride would not let me maunder about in a dressing gown all day. That's just me and you'll find your own way. Unless someone's been in your shows they shouldn't judge you.
