Another option would be grief counceling..Hospice is an excellent organization to hook up with, and there are others as well..
Life does go on-amd we have to make the best of the cards we are delt.

He's not dead, just old - still got a lot of life in him if he goes for it. Encouraging him, reassuring him and letting him be as mobile and connected as possible are good moves.
Keep him Moving, and get him phys therapy if he's unsteady - it helps, and gives him something to look forward to. Again, just fill his time with positive and productive, healthy activities.
Hang in there, it's very tough on them to lose a spouse at that age.
