My dearest husband passed away on 12 Mach 08. GBM took his body and mind. When he lost swallow reflex; he refused a feeding tube and bravely faced death. The DR's gave him a year. He lived for three months!He was a wonderful husband and father. There are times when I can't get my breath. I have cried enough tears since his diagnosis 3 Dec 07 to float a boat. Now my goal is to live a life that will allow me to meet him in heaven where we will be together for all eternity. I not only love him, I am still very much still IN LOVE with him.Anne GeorgiaAnn Sun, 13 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT Anne - My deepest sympathies to you.    Pat   Patrick_NF Sun, 13 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT Anne, I am so sorry for your loss.  I too lost my husband February 22 to stomach cancer.  He had stage IV for three years.  The tears still flow and I miss him deeply.  I also believe we will meet in heaven again; that is the only thing that keeps me going.  Til then....Blessings on you and yours,Diane Anniedips Sun, 13 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT Anne -- my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.   nancya Sun, 13 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT Anne- sorry for your loss.  We beleive that once you are married your souls remain together for eternity through all of the worlds of God.  You will be with your husband again, once you are with him, the time you are spending now without him will seem but a blink of an eye.  You are in my prayersConrad Conrad Sun, 13 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT Dear Georgia Anne,I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family. Your husband was another brave worrior of GBM. I too lost a loved one to this horrible disease. I know the pain you have suffered from the beginning of this terrible journey until the end, and it wasn't a pleasant one. My brother would have been (49) on April 10th. He passed away back in October 07. They also told him he had maybe 6m-1year and he died only 6 weeks later. It sounds like your husband and my brother really got shorted. I know too that he is in heaven and I'm trying to make sure I get there with him when it's my time. He got saved before he passed and I'm so greatful for that. I know he's in such a wonderful place free of his pain and suffering but I sure wish he was still here. It's been almost 6 months and my pain is still so great I wonder if it will every go away. A piece of our hearts goes with them and nothing can fill it. Every day I still ask WHY but there is no answer. When I say he's gone or he died I get a sick feeling in my stomach and the word cancer just makes me so sick. I don't understand this GBM why it's so ruthless and people just don't seem to have a chance. I still say how did my brother get cancer and in the brain at that. It has no mercy on anyone of any age. I hope that one day they find a cure so that others don't have to suffer like yours and mine and for those of us left behind with all this pain. I hope that you can find a way to make peace for yourself, I still have not found a way to make mine yet.Your will be in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You and your family.Steve's Little Sister, Susan sbent63 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT Anne, I am so sorry for your loss. I too lost my beloved husband to GBM on feb. 21st of this year. But I am thankful that these wonderful men are at peace and I know that I will see him again. God bless you and give you strength through this difficult time.Diane  Dttmusic Sun, 13 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT My heart goes out to all of you who have lost a loved one. On Saturday I was at a funeral.  The deceasd was 85 years old so much older than your husbands and brother.  But it was not any easier for the wife, for the children or the grand children.  A loved one is gone and only the memories will sustain you. I hope that you all have wonderful memories.  Try to concentrate on events in their lives  that brought tears of joy to your eyes.  Siegrun  Siegrun Sun, 13 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT Anne, I am very sorry for your loss. Brandon. Brandon-cg Sun, 13 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi,I am so sorry for your lost. My 60 years old father passed a way on MArch 11, 08 as well. I totally understand you. We are at the same situation. I think the only thing that we can do, is just praying, and sending positive energy to them. Do not think he is gone, he just started another life.

Laura412 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT Dear AnneI am terribly sory that you lost your husband.  I pray that you will find comfort in knowing that someday you will be together again.Marilyn56 Marilyn56 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband.  I too am broken hearted over the death of my 54 yr-old brother, Tim. He died 2/12/08, 9 months after his diagnosis.  We had very high hopes that he'd have more time.  Tim was doing so well until the 2nd week of December.  On 1/7/08 he decided to stop the newest chemo, it was killing him and he was not willing to chase quantity of life, he was only interest in quality.Tim lived exactly 5 weeks from the day he called to say he was stopping treatment.  Those were precious days for us and I'm glad his wife, children, my parents and 3 other brothers were all able to share them with him.It's been been just 2 months since he's been gone, but I think of him every minute of the day.  I can't figure out how we'll all manage without him.Praying for your peace and comfort in the days ahead,Judy  Tims Sister Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT My thoughts and prayers are with you.I lost my husband Dec. 10, 2007 to GBM.  He too was given 6-12 months and was gone after 4-1/2.  It is a horrible disease!I, like you, am living my life so we can be together again for eternity.  Be strong and know you are not alone, I am praying for you.Cindy   cindystar Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT hi anne and friends ,,,,, hope you are doing little better i send you email in febuary ,,you are aware i lost my husband ron 18 febuary of gbm IV,,,,,,,,,,,i miss him so much like you my tears are a waterfall ,,,however like other wifes say ,,all are men are presently pain free ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i read this book that help me cope with my husband death ,,,,,,,,,true story **90minutes in heaven written by cecil murphy ****a pastor had car accident and was death for 90m and came back to tell his wonderfull story about heaven ,,,,,,,,i am happy that my husband is with his family (Parents) he sends me  strength to go one ,,,it is extremely hard without him after 19yrs together ,,,all my memories are with me forever ,,,,,,god bless you all going true this time of sorrow,,,,,,,,,,,you are in my prayers ,,,sue (canada) mokaaa Tue, 15 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT
