Hang in there. The hit by a truck feeling does ease over time. Be sure to breath and take time to take care of your needs. Right now you may not know what you need. People would ask me what they could do...I would go blank. What I began saying was...thank you for the offer, I am not sure what I need right now. I will call you in a week or two and let you know. I felt weird putting it this way, but I think most people understood.
Know that we are all wishing you well, you are not alone. We don't know exactly how you are feeling and all grief is not the same, but writing here will help you work through how you feel.
