Your husband needs to have peace in the spiritual world.
If this does not happen, you might constantly have nightmares about his soul wandering the earth, and this can be more traumatic than his death. The reason is that you won’t be able to help him since he has become a spirit.

Afterwards, you can go ahead and ask God to give your husband peace in heaven by assuring him that you are fine on earth and ready to move on with your life.
