About to lose husband to brain tumour

Hi there - I am new to this website, and also about to lose my husband to a brain tumour. I would like to connect with/hear from others who have been through a similar journey, or anyone affected by cancer really. What a horrible thing to go through.

Re: About to lose husband to brain tumour

Thank you for your comments, and for reaching out to me. My beautiful husband returned home to heaven this morning, and I feel privileged that he let me be by his side when the time came. I still can't believe he won't be coming home again. He loved flying and was an excellent pilot - about half an hour after he passed, I heard a small aeroplane circling overhead. One of the nurses also saw it - a Tiger Moth. I knew he sent it to us to let us know he was OK.

Oh Emma, I don't know you, but am so sorry for your loss. I too believe in the power of signs - how beautiful that your husband reached out to you in that way. Best wishes for you.
