What did he do before you came along... let him go back to that. Your life had to be better then, also, go back to it. The only thing I gained from 2 1/2 yrs with a person trying to rebuild his life, (with a store) is it was a financial drain, but I did learn a very Memorable Lesson... & the more time (it's been over 3 yrs) that he is gone, it just gets Better. The color part, for me came as Black & Blue, then when it's healing, it gets better color, Of Serenity,Peace & Blessings
I take nothing for granted. I now have only good days or great days.
