Oh wow, I wasn't expecting that to happen to you BritAnon. I'm truly sorry to hear that. Hopefully, your son is in a better place. Not sure about what you can do work wise. Maybe try figuring out what type of work you can do around your location and start there. Can you do physical labor? Maybe office work? 

Just try figuring out any type of work you can do just to start getting back on your feet. 

Purpose. Not sure how to answer that because we all have different life experiences and goals. Just start by trying to take care of those near to you. Your wife is still with you, so focus on her well being too. And your other children if you have any. 

> I have no family nor friends for I left those in the city of my birth.

Try to reach out to them as much as possible. Grieving is always best when you have other people around to support you. And you always have us around this and the /news/ board anon. Just do your best to not be alone at this point in your life OP.
