I believe ...Your thoughts are very well expressed. I believe that Brittany had the right to make the choice she made for whatever reason she made it. It would have been nice for the media to interview people or families of loved ones with GBM that fought the battle to the end. I lost my 29 year old son, Stephen to GBM 6 months after DX but really 9 months after a grand mal seizure when it really began but was undiagnosed until 3 months later. We fought to the end and he passed on to Heaven peacefully from home surrounded by his loving family. The last month was the worst but there were so many deep loving moments during that time also, that I would not have traded it for the world. He was so sweet loving with lots of hugs, kisses and when he was unable to speak well he could always say, "I love you". We were fortunate that he didn't experience any seizures except the initial one so it could have been much worse. He received so much love and support from his brother and sister and as their mother I was proud and grateful that they experienced that bond and were able to express their love before his passing. As Stephen's mother, I considered it an honor and a privilege to take care of his every need and expressed my love for him in doing that. There are ways to die with dignity that do not include shortening the process. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

It was an awful, horrible journey, the 8 months I had with him after his DX on DEC 11, 2013. This is a wonderful article and I love how you expressed things. I will never understand why people judge others because of choices they make. I have become a much more tolerable person in the last 11 months, believe me. GBM changes our lives and our decision making and We can only hope someday, they find a cure.. God Bless anyone who lives this nightmare...<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22179016025322738.post-3614307836917062412014-11-06T20:54:47.827-06:002014-11-06T20:54:47.827-06:00Wow Stephanie...

I have no idea how to relate to Britney's perspective.... however, I am learning the perspective of a family member who loves someone with the unfortunate terminal illness of brain cancer. This is complicated and personal, as you stated. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624406882190869921noreply@blogger.com
