Saturday 1/22 - Questions Part II

Some more answers to real-life questions

What's been the hardest part?

What's most distressing is that losing a spouse poses a number of problems all at once. First the process of death just causes a lot of stress and weariness. Then realizing that I still have the boys to raise alone. And then the realization of the loss of your spouse. All of these have been very hard.

What do you plan to do?

Under different circumstances, I would have packed up and headed home to Los Angeles. My life here in STL being an interesting diversion. But alas, it is not to be. Too many complications at the moment. So we're going to stay put for some time. Kathy and I had hoped that she'd at least make it to their college days, or at least until they graduated high school. We have enough issues at the moment so reducing some stress from a move, even a clsoe one, will mean a lot to the boys. But as they move up in school, we'll have a wider range of housing options to choose from.

What about you?

There's little time left at the end of the day. But I do squeeze some things in when I can. I try to run in the mornings when it's above 32 degrees. And I often work out at lunch. But for right now, I am in hibernation for about anything else.
