Thank you!
My interest in brain health has always been active and I do a lot of reading on the subject.
But my youngest daughter (who lived with me age 58) passed away April 6th from a Glioblastoma Multiforme
brain tumor stage 4. It was too late when it was discovered even though she had surgery, radiation and chemo. So I am in deep grief but will keep following up on the research and comments so maybe I can help someone else discover it in time to save a life.

My heart is filled with sadness for you. I know words cannot help much, but your desire to share your grief, and your desire to help others, reveal your compassionate heart and soul. May you be surrounded by angels, wrapped in their wings-

I empathize. One of my best friends called me to tell me that in Good Friday her son never woke up. He was 46. God wherever he may be always works in mysterious ways. Thank you for sharing. Gratefully, Marianne

I am so sorry to hear of your daughter's death. I admire you in your desire to help others who have this type of brain cancer. Helping others is one effective way of dealing with this kind of grief.

I look forward to reading your posts in the future as you deal with grief and the aging process.

Will you share how you cope with loss on a day-to-day basis?
