OK, so you feel vulnerable.
You're afraid they're going to say something awful about you or something that hurts you?
If they say something inappropriate, it reflects on them.
Not you.
People who know you know that you're a thoughtful, kind and considerate person.
Words will hurt you only if you value the opinion of whoever is speaking those words.
I know it hurt to have them do the things they've done since your husband passed.
You've lost your husband and they've lost their son.
Such events can cause the World to turn upside down, and people try to cope in various ways; positively, negatively, compassionately and irrationally.
Go to the Internment.
You were a wonderful wife.
Hold your head high.
Have your prepared comments to recite, and repeat, if needed:
"I'm not up for conversation today." ... from @MissGotRocks -- (I think this is excellent).
It won't be easy, Pinto, but I think it would be good for you to go.
