The thing about grief is there is no flight plan that tells you where you are going and how high or low you will be. You've just got to take it day by day.
I think the best thing you can do is be honest with your family and friends about how you feel. Don't worry about stressing them, this is about you and how you are coping and you need to put yourself first.
For me, after losing my son I was up and down for a long time. I'll be honest, it was closer to a year before I felt some sort of stability. There were days I wanted to talk and talk and days I felt like clobbering the first person who asked me how I was.
Just be gentle with yourself. What you are feeling is so very normal.
