Hi Hopeful, I was very saddened by reading your post. I have no words that could possibly make this pain or sorrow better. Such a horrible thing to happen and exactly - What the F@#K do u do now?? I can only imagine the pain you are enduring and have endured - to watch the person u love fade away. I guess you grieve and let that be whatever it maybe: sadness, anger, rage, happiness, relief, guilt, fear and acceptance. I hope and pray you find some peace soon and may your son be your light at this dreadful time. Ruby “Just when you think it can't get any worse, it can.

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

MissyM, sorry for your lost. Three years and two months is a pretty good time though from my short understanding of GBM. My partner is only a bit over 4 months in after his brain surgery and diagnosed. I do wish he will be with me for a long long time. ... View more

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
