[quote=Anonymous]My sister went through loss of her DH. It is very hard, and people will react in very different ways. Some distanced themselves, some were super helpful, but even the close friends eventually became fatigued. Mostly, I feel like people didn't know how to respond, the appropriate level of commiseration/normalcy. If you feel up for it, take the time to set the tone/let people know what you would prefer, how you would prefer to interact. It may also help to reach out to individuals rather than a group carpool email. Or if you have a helpful friend, have them mediate for you.

It is possible that people are not sure how to respond to your emails because of how they are written. Maybe (just guessing here) you've always come across as super chill, but are now wordy, or vice versa. Maybe people are just taken aback and don't know how to properly respond.

With the teacher, maybe she's reaching out to guidance counselor/school social worker, before responding, because she doesn't feel like she can respond herself properly.

Or maybe people aren't even ignoring you, but you're in such an emotional state that any delay feels like being ignored?

It is very hard, but it will get better, very incrementally. Hang in there.[/quote]
