I’m With You
Lizzie, I'm so sorry to hear your husband lost his battle with GBM. It is such an agressive illness. I've surived passed the initial window they expected, and hope that I continue to, though I do know that I am at risk for a much shorter life span than I thought I'd have (I'm 44, diagnosed a year ago at 43). How long did your husband go through treatment before he passed? Did he have more than one surgery? Do you feel he got good medical care? I'm doing both alternative as well as regular Western medecine, as I think both have a lot to offer. I worry about my husband, as he's not reaching out for support from others, and getting angrier by the day, and lashing out at me, then hating himself for doing that. I try to support him as best I can, because I know that he is hurting too. Yet I do wish he would talk to friends, a therapist, or a support group, 'cause I have enough of a struggle keeping my own spirits intact. I pray for all of us who are touched by GBM, and pray that someday I will look back on this and be able to reflect on how much I learned from it. I hope to start a support group (I'm a therapist) for brain tumor patients when I am well enough to get back to work. thanks again, so much. love, Tara

Close Widows & Widowers
I lost my darling husband and best friend on May 27, 2007 after a 17 month battle with brain cancer. It is surreal and I miss him every minute of the day. His legacy lives on in our two incredible sons, and I am thankful every day for them and for the love their dad and I shared. I am still in love with him even though he is gone. I pray every day that I can learn to live a life without him, but I yearn for him, what was and what should have been.
Treatments
- Grief Counseling Working / Worked
- I find great solace and support in a local group for widows/widowers who are young.
