Hello, I've only just seen the additional posts here and thank you everyone for your very kind and helpful comments.
I am pleased to say that the funeral went well (as well as funerals can go) and my brother and sister did not come. Prior to the funeral I had told them that he only wanted his close family and friends there and I'm assuming that they took this to mean not them! In the end it was his family, my children and quite a lot of his friends, so just as he would have wanted.

Just to fern my condolences and to say I’m glad it went ok.

I'm glad it went as well as these things can, Olivia51.

Olivia51 so glad the funeral was how your husband wanted . It must have taken a weight off your shoulders he got his wish and only people that love and care about you both being there .

It's hard to live without him . But your love for eachother will get through the days ,and years ahead . My husband was a wiseman and knew what I needed to live without him . And have kept every promise I made him . People says time heals but in my experience it doesn't you just learn to cope . Still early days for you . I live each day not just for me but my husband as that's what he wanted . Love and grief never dies . But we are the lucky ones we found the other half of ourselves and I know the minute my husband died I lost half of myself . But I owe it to him to live my life to the full. It's what he wanted for me . Because of his love I do things I never thought I would but in my way . He saw me not my disability .

Take each day at a time . Never fight your grieve you will only hurt yourself took me years to realise that but at 45 I thought I have to be brave for everyone else I was a fool.

Take good care of yourself Olivia you are not alone you are a member of a club you didn't want to join . But you can have a good life but it will take time in my case years . But know we are the lucky ones to have been so loved and loved in return. Some people live their whole lives and never find the other half of themselves. But we did . 🌹
