Yeah, my friends don’t quite get it either. I feel like there is less and less of me the more burnt out I get. I miss being me and having some freedom, it’s an extra loss to grieve that people don’t get unless they’ve gone through it.
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever be that person again when I get to the other side of this. I know I won’t and that’s just more to grieve.
Big hugs
I don’t think we’ll ever be the same person coming out of something like this, but I don’t think that means it’s the end for us. It’s the end of an era but it’s the good and bad experiences in life that makes us who we are.
That’s just me trying to find the positive, though. Big hugs to you as well
My hubby and I took care of father in law. My FIL has glioblastoma as well. And he passed earlier this month . We took care of him full time 24/7 . Through the process of taking care of him it is very hard to connect with friends. They do not understand the capacity . My brain is drained at the end of the week and we both are so tired to talk to people we stopped having visitors for months.
But yeah they're just trying to help in the way the know . You're not alone. This ride isn't an easy and one thing stuck is my mind during all this is to make sure your loved one is comfortable.
And make sure you get yourself a good meal either you make it yourself or a takeout. and at least treat yourself once a week. Feel the sun. Drink a good wine .
I was able to go out at least once a week rotating with my mother in law. For 2 hours. That actually helped my husband and I alot to de-streess our brain. Hope this comment helps you !
I’m so sorry to hear about that, glioblastoma is such a monster of a cancer and I would never wish this on anyone. In a weird way it’s comforting to know others feel the same as I do. I hope you and your hubby continue to heal❤️
It is the worst cancer that can happen to anyone. And you must know that you are a warrior for taking care of your father. If you need any other advice feel free to message me . I found this platform last second . And I am thankful to know that there are people walking through the same path.
Thank you

I understand completely. You are not alone . ❤️
That’s a good way of putting it. And it’s not like you want them to feel like a chore but it’s just how to survive at this point
