Your family’s reactions sound like mine.
My daughter has blocked it out she says it’s fizzing inside and it she opens the lid a crack she will explode. Not healthy I’ve encouraged her to seek counselling. My son can’t cope with my grief at all, he is barely keeping it together himself. He only moved out a few weeks before his dad died so I’m alone now.
It’s strange what you say about your dog . I have 2. The younger one has always been protective of me but now won’t even let my extended family, who she knows well hug me.
I think they sense your upset and trying to protect you .

@Ilovehorses hi . Just a thought about your dog . Is it the dog that had been attacked a few weeks ago . It’s just my daughter’s dog was attacked a few years ago . He was a very placid dog , but after the attack became very needy and now doesn’t like other dogs . Also probably the loss of your partner and the change in how you are . Dogs can be very sensitive to change . Hey I’m no dog expert so ignore my comments if they are no help . Xtake carex

You both will adapt I know it doesn’t feel like it I moved over two hundred miles away from where I lived all my 66 years and lost hubby within two weeks of it change is frightening but you can do it . You will find your dog maybe needy now which is natural because of the fear he is experiencing also and trying to protect you at the same time . I understand about money worries suddenly it’s all on us but just keep posting on here we all are needing the support from each other as we know the journey we are all on together. Any help any of us can give you we will if only to listen
I went back to work after about a month. I find being with other people helps . Makes me get up out of bed and have a routine. I had my own office before my husband died but I requested to move to the main office, I do have to hide in the loo to cry sometimes but in general company helps. I work mornings so my dogs are ok . They are tiny and have a cat flap. If you can find part time and it’s enough money that may be best for you. Grief is exhausting, you need to be easy on yourself but routine and company do help.
