Your not alone in how you feel. The early days are so hard and 16 weeks really isn’t that long. I still have times where it’s easier to be alone. I can cry when I want and just get comfort from being me and doing what I need to get through the day.
Be careful that you don’t isolate yourself and shut people out. If you do it for too long , it will be hard to get back out.

I find it very hard going out or seeing people . It hurts a lot . I think you should follow your instincts if staying in is what you need now that’s ok maybe later it will change in time . It’s so much to absorb and internalise . Maybe staying in is your form of protection so I think you should go with that and not worry just do what’s right for you . Allow yourself to do whatever you need that helps and keep away from anything that makes you feel worse that’s what I try to do .
For me the grief is so so hard it dictates what I can do or not do it’s not something you can control it’s all consuming . I never been alone all my life we were together there are no words for the sorrow I carry though each day without him so I try not to do anything that will trigger my grief even more .
I don’t know if that helps to know but I stay in a lot too.
