Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your all symptoms are more suggestive of depression with post Menopausal syndrome.
Death of near one (husband) is always traumatic.
You are also going through menopause. So this have added depressive effect more.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
You may need antidepressants.
Also consult gynecologist and get done hormone levels. You may need hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
