Pet, my husband died 20 months ago. (I still post here occasionally, because I had help from others while I was still looking after him.)
I think you are doing so well at making decisions and getting things started; I have only just managed to have the first job done on the house and there is so much more to do that got put off while OH was ill. I have not been able to face it.
Not believing it is really true is, I think, very common. For me, it took a long while to be certain he wasn't just in hospital and I did almost think the ambulance would bring him back one day soon. In this second year I do know this is real and will be my life from now on. I think that is why people warn us the second year of widowhood is a hard one, because that is when it really sinks in.
With every good wish.
