My husband died very suddenly 3 weeks ago, he was 37, we have 3 children, 5, 3 & 2yrs. I'm struggling with everything, and wondering how to manage my childrens grief, when I am at a complete loss myself. The eldest one particularly is being challenging with her behaviour. She appears to be in complete denial, and often refuses to discuss it. She has started hitting me, and having epic meltdowns and tantrums in public, I have no idea how to manage her. We are waiting for a second appt with a Child Bereavement charity next week, I feel that people will be judging my parenting skills- or current lack of, and I don't know how to manage that either.
I have enormous amounts of support, but now as the funeral is over, it feels like people are returning to their lives, getting back to normal, and yet I'm left with this big black hole, into which my life has dissapeared. I'm no longer the person I was 3 weeks ago, and I don't know what to do about it.
