What does it mean when you dream of your dead husband and it's always a bad dream?

This suggests that you have lingering emotional wounds related to your late husband. It may be that your mourning process was interrupted or cut short for some reason; if so, you need to work through memories of your married life and allow yourself to complete the mourning process.

Yet again, there may be painful issues such as abandonment, abuse, or some other traumatic experience associated with your husband. In this case, you would be wise to get professional help in dealing with these issues so that they no longer need to find expression in your dreams.
