Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
I am sorry for your loss. These feelings you are experiencing are normal given your loss. Any medication you would take would likely sedate you, and not work to numb feelings which are normal and natural. I would suggest using deep breathing exercises, guided meditation, and progressive muscle relaxation to help you calm yourself.
