Melissa I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. I absolutely love your comment: 'He held me and watched me take my first breath in life.....and I held him when he took his last' That is beautiful and I have never looked at it like that. I held my partners hand as he drew his last breath and would never change it for the world, but your words brought a smile to my face. A smile that rarely shows. So Thank you and thankyou for sharing your journey. I lost my partner to a GBM4 on 8 May 2011. ... View more

8 weeks have passed since my partner passed away from brain cancer and I can totally understand when you say it seems to have gotten harder. Just when you think you are managing a 'tad' better, such as driving in the car alone with minimal tears and bang your hit by a 5 metre wave and your back at the drawing board of lost and so sad. I have been there and thought I was pulling it together and right now I am down and lost again. I don't understand how it gets easier. So I am sorry I do not have any words that can help you process and cope, I think we are all individual and support from family and friends is our best avenue. If you or anyone else has any advice on how to cope please share. What has worked for you? What hasn't worked? Keep strong, take pleasure in the little things, live each day to the fullest and smile and laugh at the many good memories 🙂 ... View more

Hey Hopeful I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I lost the love of my life in May 2011, he had a GBM4 as well, he survived 12months and 1 day, so I am also a widow at 32. I totally understand and feel your loss. I do not know how to go on, he was my everything, he was my world. You are blessed to have a beautiful baby boy that will always be a special part of you and your partner. I have managed to go back to work, not by choice, money being a reason and needing to keep busy or I am a mess. I am looking for support to get through this and to hear of other peoples experiences. I am not sure if this will help but I need something to help me carry on. The hurt, the pain, the anger of why is just getting too much. ... View more
