Alcoholics are sensitive people. Well, most of us are. We're also ego-driven, attention hungry, selfish, wonderful people who thrive on others' constantly congratulating us on this spiritual battle we've undertaken.
simply put...when we're not the center of the universe, we tend to get hurt over it. well, the world does not revolve around us...as much as we think it should. we are not the only people fighting for our lives, feeling depression, saddness or pain. we just think we are most days.
that being said, the wonderful little narcissistic beasts that we are....my advise is to check your feelings at the front door and know that he lost a parent and be the person he needs you to be right now, and just be that person....and be sober every minute he needs you to be.
when the dust clears from his loss, you'll still be his wife.
good luck and i'm sorry for his loss. i'll say a prayer.
