Question by ? Eun Hye ?: How do I know if I am grieving over the loss of my husband (one month ago exactly)?
We were together from age 15 to now (we are both 25) and he passed away exactly a month ago in a terrible car accident. We were very private people, and best friends. I just lost the only person who ever *truly* knew me.

My psychologist told me that I need to grieve over this, and that if I don’t I will end up somewhat hollow inside. I’m not sure how to word exactly what he said, but the bottom line was that I need to deal with this loss and face it directly.

The sadness comes in waves. One moment I am fine, and I can function. The next moment, I am overwhelmed with tears and a huge feeling of emptyness.

When I went to close his bank account, for example, I completely lost it and was sobbing in front of everyone. Same thing happened when i saw the condition of the car afterwards at the tow yard.

Does this sound like I am dealing with this loss?

I don’t know what to do, and I am a total mess. Should I make another appointment with my psyche doctor and tell him about it?
I have pretty much isolated myself from my friends until I can get all of his affairs in order. We were so young and he did not have a will so there is a LOT left for me to do.

I can’t bear to see my friends. I don’t answer their phone calls and when they come over I tell them I just want to be alone.

I can’t believe I am a widow at 25 and that I will wake up in an empty bed for the rest of my life.

I know it is supposedly bad to isolate, but I feel like I need to be alone for a few more weeks, because this loss is too much to bear with the whole world watching.
