I’m sorry for your loss. Everything can be learned and the more you practice the quicker it would be for you to be comfortable writing with your left hand. Start with writing the alphabets, then single words, then a sentence. It’s very possible to learn in two days or two weeks as long as you put your mind to it. Good luck!

I am very sorry about your right hand! I’ve always wondered about drawing and writing with my left hand. I’ve tried it several times, and I believe it is possible to achieve great penmanship with experience, practice, and consistency. It might take a while to get accustomed to writing in a different way. You should start a journal or think of short stories and write it on a ruled paper. This should get you to practice with your hand and it should come more naturally eventually. Keep writing!
Take care =)

Practise, practise, practise.
It’s possible to get started within two weeks, but the learning will take a long time.
I saw a left-handed boy write upside-down once, very clear and very nice writing, from right to left. Just a thought if you are trying to find the best way.
If you’ve lost a hand, technically you’re disabled and entitled to help.

Practice. There’s really no quick way to learn. My grandpa got shot in his right hand in the war and could no longer use it and had to teach himself how to use his left hand.
He would sit and copy books just for practice. And write out definitions from a dictionary. Pretty boring I guess, but he got really good after a while. I have no idea how long because I wasn’t alive when it happened.
I don’t think it’s possible to be really great with your left hand in two weeks. But it should be legible.
