  • Fresh Grief

    My fiancé was diagnosed with GBM in September and he was so set on beating the odds. Frankly he was in denial until the end. December 3 after the chemo and radiation he fell and split his head open. A CT scan found blood clots and he was dead by 12/15. This podcast helps me although it’s hard to listen to sometimes. I’m grateful for all the info as I stagger through all this.

  • Thank you 💖

    My mom fought GBM for over 4 years, she lost her battle last year. It’s very difficult to get into grief counseling in our area. But this podcast is my therapy. It’s so validating and

    comforting 💖
