How much can a person endure

My husband died less than a month ago and each day has been fraught with anxiety, fear and people hounding me to fill out more stupid forms. Why can’t there be a grace period to let people grieve in peace ? Society and obligations and well meaning people just push push push to keep moving, keep moving. No one seems to care that someone has died and someone else is left behind.
How much can a person endure before cracking?

 

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my husband on September 29th. I know it's so much change at one time. You just want the world to stop so you can catch up and catch your breath. Take things in our own time. Listen to yourself and take care of yourself.

 

Thank you... and I am sorry that you lost yours as well. It's a shock that keeps reverberating over and over. I hope you are doing well and have support. I try to limit myself to one "out of my comfort zone " task per day but even that feels too much. I just want to crawl in a cubby hole. Hugs to you.
