Sorry to hear it.
Yeah, being there for her is pretty much it... But to some degree, if you can plan a night or two out, or find a little more reason to hang out with her in a group setting (your friends, her friends, family), that can help.
There's a slight (but not so slight) difference in looking for activities to distract you from grief and legitimately wanting to be around good friends and company and having a good time. If you're going to plan to go out and do things with her, do it for the value of enjoying good company and not out of a sense of pity or as a distraction, which will undermine the genuine value of being with friends and loved ones.
Time does not so much heal wounds as much as your choices after such a loss re-shapes you and your outlook. You heal yourself-- perhaps in time-- but through how you respond. So, love your wife and be well. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
