I am so sorry you too have faced the passing of your husband.  Kathy here are some hugs for when the numbness wears off.  I believe the numbness is our brains way of protecting us from feeling all the pain in one tidal wave.  I hope you have a support system of family and friends to help you as this curtain starts to lift because I have to warn you it will get worse, or it sure did for me both after my son died suddenly and when my husband died after a very brief struggle with cancer.

I hear you Cathy.

I lost mine on May 31st after a short 12 week battle with cancer.

Feel free to go to my page and read what happened.

I am still kind of numb too, in fact sometime I still wonder what I am doing on this site.

I suppose I'm here trying to find something, but I really dont know what that is yet.

I totally understand that you sometimes wonder what you are doing on this site.  I am glad to know I am not going crazy and the numbness is a normal part of the grief process.  I am so sorry for

loss Polly.  May God wrap His strong arms around you and comfort you.
