Asking Eric: How do I reply to people who ask how I’m doing when it would be a lie to say ‘I’m OK'?

Summary by The Oregonian
Dear Eric: Last year, I was hit by a double tragedy – diagnosed with cancer and losing my wife suddenly. The devastation lingers, and each day presents its own challenges. Some days, the weight of grief is crushing; other days, I find solace in walks, golf and music, keeping myself occupied. These activities offer some relief, but an undercurrent of sadness persists, making everything feel insignificant.
