Missed miscarriage and supporting partner

Went for the 12 week scan today and I've had a missed miscarriage at about 7 weeks they think.

I am obviously sad even though it was early and my husband was very sad too. He wants to talk about and hug and stuff and I want to be alone and not talk about it. I feel like a terrible wife but I've had a pretty hard life and I've always dealt with stuff alone and it's my go to reaction. Just build walls and walls and shut people out.

AIBU? How do I support my husband when all I want to do is be alone and distract myself?

Sorry for your loss, I've been where you are and it's heartbreaking. Me and DH are actually opposites to this, I like to be around people and he likes to be alone in response to stuff like this. It used to cause a lot of issues but we have spoken about it and I respect his wish for some space and I have a network of friends and family I lean on. This is only if its something we are both going through together otherwise he will be there for me without question. Have you spoken to him and explained this is what you need right now? It might come across cold if not which isn't the case at all.
