My family and I have been mourning the unexpected and tragic death of my brother last month, 6/7/2020. My husband has been my rock during all of this. My grief is still so raw and I cry at least a few times a day still.

I want to be close to my husband. Intimate with him but it’s so difficult right now. He’s been so patient and understanding. He wants to love on me and hold me close but it doesn’t do it for me right now, even though I want to. We were close last Saturday for the first time since it happened. It was nice to be in his arms but not like it was before. It’s not his fault and I love him so much.

Is this normal? How can I help it. He hasn’t pushed or anything, I just don’t want to neglect him.
