Oh, how I enjoy writing this blog, particularly in recent months as I have sought to deal with my intense grief and heartache over the loss of my beloved bride.<\/p>\n

Kathy Anne passed away from cancer in February. I have sought to tell my story without getting overly sappy. Sappiness might be part of my DNA, but I recognize that it isn’t for everyone. So I have sought to keep my blog posts about Kathy Anne relatively free of it.<\/p>\n

I hope you’ll bear with me for the time being as I continue on this journey. Truth be told I am doing better today than I was a week ago. I thought I was regressing a bit, but it didn’t happen.<\/p>\n

What do I credit for my continued recovery? I am going to give credit to this blog, which is my venue to tell you what is on my mind and in my heart.<\/p>\n

Doing so has released much of the pain. Along the way I hope to have offered a lesson or two to those who are enduring similar tragedies.<\/p>\n

I said at the outset that I am bolstered by the knowledge that I am far from the only human being ever to experience such a loss. Others have gone through it and come out OK on the other side.<\/p>\n

I will too. Of that I am certain. Before I arrive, though, I will need to continue to express my thoughts on this blog.<\/p>\n

Spoiler alert: There is more to come.<\/p>\n
