It has only been five weeks now since I lost my husband. I have always enjoyed our chats with two ladies at the drug store. I have known them for years. But now they serve me and won't even look at me, I find this very rude and embarrassing.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your husband, when I lost my late wife many years ago, I found so called friends crossing the street to avoid speaking to me!
I lost my husband 4 years ago and also found the same thing happened to me.When you haven't experienced bereavment then people don't know what to say . I am not making excuses for them it is a fact. Sorry to hear of your loss. You do get through this. You never forget but you learn to live with it. Take care Lots of Love Julie X
I send you my sympathy about you loss. Do you think that maybe because you where such good friends they dont want to talk about it in case it upsets you and them. So they think the answer is to say nothing. Maybe if you just happen to drop the hint as to why they have stopped talking to you you might just get your answer.
I am sorry to hear of your sad loss. I lost my husband 14 months ago. I too experienced that some people found it difficult to face me after my husband's passing away.
These people don't want to upset you, but do not know what to say as their association with you was possibly through your husband's illness.
I remember I once bumped into one of my husband's carersin street and another one at a local church. Both encounters are very brief but I know for the fact that they are caring people. They just didn't want to bring up a painful memory to me.
Take lots of care of yourself, just stay with people who give you support and ignore the one who can't. The highest priority should go to you and don't worry about what other people may think as that's not important for the moment.
