You have the good manners to tell them that you appreciate their concern, but you'd really rather not talk about it. And then you go get some counseling because you apparently need help getting past this hurt. You have obviously not moved on, otherwise you would not be so upset by someone asking about it.

Try not to be brash with your friends and acquaintances. Remember people come into our lives for a reason. Sometimes they do not realize that their condolences are offensive and most occasions are not intended that way. Try to shrug it off when you can and if they persist ask them politely to drop it and move on to another subject.

I have never been in such a situation, but in a way people want to probably tell you that they are sorry for your loss. You should let them know that you are trying to move on and that it is hard for you to deal with this over and over again.

Obviously they haven't got a life. Don't answer their questions, be evasive and try to get rid of them as fast as possible.

I don't think these people are intentionally trying to upset you. They are just trying to say that they empathize with you is all.
Just politely tell them thank you for your concern, but that you don't want to talk about it.

the thing that went wrong was that you let that person get to you should never let them that getting to you you should have act like you just seen them yesterday and they wouldn't be to attack you feeling like that

Just tell them that you are not comfortable discussing it.
