Give them a call.

There are many charities and counsellors in the West you can call or contact for free and paid support.

 

In particular bereavement charities.

Condolences Mike, I cannot imagine the pain you are going through.  I don't know the organization that was affiliated with TVF but hopefully you will get plenty of replies connecting you with support during this very difficult time.

His location is listed as Rangsit so I would guess Pathum Thani (am saying that as the GF used to live in Pathum Thani & work in Rangsit so am assuming they're reasonably close to each other).

Actually my location should be Kabin Buri District prachinburi province

I was in the same place as you 12 years ago. I pretty much know what you are experiencing right now, and I deeply empathize.

 

I, too, had no family support whatsoever.

 

And I absolutely adored my wife.

 

It is not something you want to hear right now as it seems totally impossible, but you will get through it. The single question I kept hearing in my head was, Would my wife want me to kill myself? 

 

You know the answer to that, just like I did.

 

Give the Samaritans a call.

 

When I get back to LOS in October, I'd be happy to meet up with you for coffee.

Thank you I get some support from my sister through messenger it helps but my main concern is what happens now I've been trying to get my wife to do a will but she always refused. I have to get a certified translation of her death certificate and that can be a problem because of covid. Like my sister says 1 day at a time at least the funeral is over

Take care Mike. Go slowly, be safe, and not too much time alone.

My condolences to you at this difficult time.  I too have had a Thai wife pass away from cancer a number of years ago.  Not an easy thing to deal with especially with kids involved.
