Glioblastoma multiform is what took my mother from my family. What made it most difficult for me was that it drove my brother from his spirituality completely while it drew my dad and me closer.

He's never come back from that to this day more than 10 years later.

If it's anything like losing mom, the pain does get less, the crying less frequent. The only true healer is time. The balm of gilead and the spirit both provide context, comfort, and even relief but what I really needed was time.

I still think about her almost everyday.
