Hi Lori,
Thank you for your lovely response.
Deborah went to be with Jesus on 15th December last year, so less than three months ago. I am so fortunate to be supported by family (both Deborah's and mine) and friends (including church and neighbours).
With something like glioblastoma, it was such a shock because often there are no symptoms - in fact, the only indication was that Deborah had problems with the laptop keyboard on the day before her diagnosis. She was a teacher with specialist knowledge of religious education and was the most influential person that I know, so it is part of the comfort that the legacy of her work continues.
It is also a privilege to be part of this community.
Andrew

Oh gosh, that’s still very recent, Andrew. Your wife sounds like such a wonderful woman. While I’m profoundly sorry for your loss, she has certainly left a positive impact on everyone whose lives and hearts she’s touched. That is an inspirational legacy.

I’m happy you’re part of this community too. We are very much a large family, always ready with a shoulder for support. I know you have focused, rightfully so, on the gliobastoma group. We have over 70+ other discussion groups in the forum as well. One in particular which might be helpful is the Loss & Grief support group, though it sounds like you have a really good supportive system around you already. But if the need arises, we’re here.

Again, thank you for sharing your wife’s story and don’t be a stranger, ok?
