How can I explain to my husband that I'm still grieving the death of my mother?

My mother just died a week ago. But my husband is being a jerk adding into my burden. How can I make him understand that I am still mourning my mother’s death? 😢😞🧐

A week ago — and he doesn’t understand that you’re still grieving? In my mind something is wrong with him in that case.

@Daviszabecki He asked, why I keep on crying and so irritable. Can’t he understand that my heart is shattered knowing I went home, and my mom is in the coffin. I was not able to hug her for the last time.😢

Like others have said, you will mourn for years. That’s only natural. This guy sounds like he’s far too full of his own ego. Leave him. If you have kids, it’s even more urgent @tryingtobeOK
