Do you get the support you need as a new widow? Does your family contact you or do they avoid for whatever reasons?

I am very sorry for your loss.  As can be seen on this site, you cannot mandate support from relatives.   I would suggest you find a local support group for emotional support.  If your issue is money, do you have kids?  Are you getting social security?  If no kids, you will likely have to live on your earnings and or insurance.  Good luck.

When my mother was widowed with 3 small children, her family did not live locally.  Our friends and neighbors were supportive, but in the end, she had to take care of herself (and her kids)

Much appreciate your reply thanks! When I mean vulnerable, I mean emotionally especially when you are out having coffee on your own for instance. Also when you go to a church AKA social club you get women asking "where is your husband? " and men "what is your intention?".
