My daughters are 23 and 26 and they live in Austin, but not with me. I am so sorry that widowhood is what brought you to live here. When did you lose your husband?

Thanks for the welcome. I thought this site had been abandoned.
My wife Cathy died just this past December--She fought her cancer so bravely so long, we never thought of her as ill--She was bigger than life, and now I am feeling the pain--I literally drag myself through each day--Not one day has gone by without a good cry--I must say the grieving is painful, lonely and exhausting. Of the hundreds of people that have been there for me, fortunately for them they have not experienced what I am going through--they all really want to hear that I'm ok. OK, enough about me..how are you? And when did you lose your husband? Tell me..
