    • About Me

      I'm recently widowed. My husband, Russ, died after a hard fight with cancer. We found out on my 50th birthday that he was terminal, and he died on Good Friday of this year, after 3 weeks in hospice care. Am doing okay, ranging from "so-so" to good and back...never know when the next wave will hit. It's really hard, because I've known him since I was 5 and we grew up together. So, 90% of my life seems like it's gone, just like that....

      I'm recently widowed..my husband, Russ, died on Good Friday of this year after a year-long hard fight with oral cancer. We found out he was terminal in January, on my 50th birthday, and he died after 3 weeks in hospice care. I'm alternating between "so-so" and "okay" and "good," trying to ride the waves when they come...sometimes they're tsunami's!
