[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op here thanks to everyone for a lot of good info and suggestions. spoke to a counselor yesterday who's demeanor i was not a huge fan of but have since been recommended to another person's who i will speak to tomorrow.

I think in action to my daily crying bouts i am wondering if many felt totally apathetic to life and your usual desire to socialize, go out, etc...I have zero.

My husbands good friend invited us for NYE, I cannot go. I do not want to be around people celebrating and happy, they deserve it very much but I also know that will be hard for me. 
He really wants me to try and go for. a bit-but I know already its not a good idea.

They are lovely people but very outgoing and outwardly friendly (a great thing btw) but given my mood, I just can't cope with that, or even try to keep up. [b]Is it wrong to tell my husband I simply cannot go? [/b]I am urging him to go even for a little bit to have a drink etc...i don't want to hold him back.

Friends of ours insisted to stop by the other day and the minute my mom was brought up, I ran out of the room crying and sobbing. I don't want to repeat that in front of a room with strangers (their other guests). That doesn't seem unreasonable does it?[/quote]

100% not wrong to tell your husband that you aren't up for going, every one has their own process.  Some people like to surround with life and jubilance in times of grief, some people seek solitude and silence.  Listen to what you need to do to process.

I am glad to hear you are taking steps with a counselor.  Be kind to yourself.[/quote]
