I love the hook, it reminds me of a song I wrote titled "a thought of her". I was also surprised at the bridge. To me it makes the song. Now for my suggestions keep in mind they are only my opinion and that I have no idea of the music you have in mind for this.
1. I think V1 is alright depending on the music.

2. For the chorus I would suggest changing line 2 because we know he is gone from V1 and I also like the idea of a four line chorus. something like
this house feels so empty
and I cant stop this fear
knowing i'll see nothing real
when his memory appears

3. V2 I agree with earlier post it is just more of V1. You need something new to hammer your plot home. I have something in mind but I dont wanna re-write your song.

4. The bridge, first two lines a great but 3 and 4 do not flow. And do you really wanna get over him in the song? I would stay with the grieving theme myself and say somthing like:
seems so strange how life can change
in an instant he was gone
when a drunk crossed the line that night
and stole our happy home

I hope I havent said anything wrong. this was purely my opinion. I love your idea and I know you will make it a great song
