I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose a son.

I lost my mom to the same disease.

no words...

who knew and loved your son. May every good memory comfort you .

And I am so very pleased to see that your son's brain will keep moving forward to help other people who become afflicted with this cancer.



THANK YOU

If you want to talk, DM me with your number. My daughter died in 2001; sometimes during this wretched time of grief it can be helpful to talk with people who have also experienced the loss of a child. it can be so lonely. crying for you and wishing you strength and peace down the road,

I am so so sorry. God that's so awful

for all who knew and loved him.

I'm so sorry.

I hope you and your family can find some peace in the coming days, be gentle with yourself.

thank you and your family for making the donation to the institute as this will certainly help others.

hugs!

Wishing peace to you and your family.

No parent should survive their children. It's every parent's fear. My mother had to bury her oldest son, my brother, who died six years ago of brain cancer (though I don't know they type), which had dogged him for more than 20 years.

So sorry for your loss.

My wife's sister died from this a few years ago. She was 56 and the youngest of five siblings.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Losing a child is tragic.

you're going through and offer my condolences.

May all who knew and cared about your son find peace.

have to go thru this.

May you find the strength to go on someday, sometime.

My younger brother passed away from cancer.

Cancer sucks.

I understand how you feel. God Bless.

much love

The pain of losing a child is beyond words.

It's not even "understandable." But it is so real and so overwhelming.

sadly,

I can't imagine the pain of losing a son or daughter. Stay strong, my friend, and stay connected to your DU family. We're always here for you.

Sending you love and peace.

God bless him, you and your loved ones. Words are insufficient.

I'm at Brain Tumor survivor myself. If there's any way I can help, feel free to pm me.

That is the thing I fear most in life.

Love and light to you and all who grieve for him.

I lost my son a few years ago so I know what you’re going through. It’s good that you donated his brain to study this disease. Many lives will be saved because of it.

In time your memories of him will be the mostly joyful ones.

May the Lord give you strength during this most difficult time.

and brave of you to post. Try to recall the good times, and thanks for helping research.

God be with you and take one day at a time.

At a loss for words. Take care.

I hope that you can feel and accept our wishes of love and healing and light for you in this your darkest time.

It's never easy losing a relative who's younger than you.

I lost my daughter in an accident last November.
There is nothing I can say that will ease your pain.
I can only urge you to surround yourself with loving friends and family, and most importantly take care of yourself and your family.

My Deepest Sympathy
Drifter

I can feel your pain because my son died when he was 26. He had glioblastoma multiform, the same as your son, Ted Kennedy, beau Biden and Gord Downie of the Tragically hip. Downie had the same doctor of my son.

In time the deepest hurt will subside but it hurts intensely like now for me being aware of your son's passing. I hope he passed peacefully.

Died January 7th, 2020 of the same thing, a glioblastoma. None of us as fans knew until after bc he was a really private person, but he may have been diagnosed before Gord died I think, and the bands were acquainted from what I've read. Rush made a public donation to the cause around that time, before Gord passed.
I am so sorry for your loss. My MIL lost her daughter and I know it changes a mother forever to live thru such a tragedy.

My nephew died from the same cancer. I hope your son is at peace and free from suffering.

💔

Just thinking of what to say, and it’s hard cuz it’s one of those turns in life that isn’t fair. I’m mournful with you. Am sorry for your loss and what you must be going through right now. Is also a reminder to be kind to those we encounter, as you never know what folks are dealing with at any given time. Made a small donation to the institute you mentioned, as I am thankful for those striving to find a cure, which includes your family.

My son is fighting Stage IV cancer, a different and very rare kind. On a clinical trial now.

Sending cyber best wishes.

on how you son is doing.

it is so heartbreaking to lose a child no matter what their age.

cancer is an awful disease

What a terrible thing to happen to you. Again, I'm very sorry.

I pray for peace and comfort for you and your family.

As one who has known the pain of losing two children my heart and prayers are with you and yours. May you find comfort and healing from the words on this thread and the days to come.

Peace

My brother passed from cancer of the brain. His was related to lung cancer that they blamed on Agent Orange exposure in Viet Nam.

I cannot fathom what you are going through.

My thoughts are with you and hoping you are surrounded by love, healing, and comfort from the pain of your loss.

I hope you can surround yourself with comforting people and love.

Thank you to your family for donating his brain for research.
In a small way, his loss will benefit the future and that is a priceless gift...

No parent should go through this.

how painful it must be for you and the family. Deepest condolences.

you, he, and all your loved ones have been through. I am certain you did everything possible to support him and that he knew how thoroughly he was loved. He will always be a part of you. Your donation to Barrow will help light the way for future treatment. Blessed be his memory forever.

Losing a child is the most heartbreaking thing. Sending cyberhugs.

Losing a loved one is never easy. May your so rest in peace and let's hope that some good will come out of this. And I sincerely hope you will persevere as well.

I lost my younger son in 2010. The hurt never leaves. We never expect to lose one of our children before us. As Sylvester Stallone said when he lost his son "I have joined a club that nobody wants to join" Please accept my deepest sympathy over your loss. We just have to go on, one day at a time.

Parents don't even contemplate this, when it does, it's devastating, so very sorry for you have this grief.

no words. except I am sorry for your terrible loss.

Peace to you and yours.

Losing a child is awful.

I know that nothing can take away the pain and grief you are feeling. Please surround yourself with people who love you. And please take care of yourself.

When I lost my parents, I finally learned that I had to be kind to my soul.

So you be kind to your soul. I wish I could give you a real hug.

Today I will take some of you both with me in my thoughts and life.

Sending thoughts of comfort and peace to you.

Sending love and sympathy.

I lost my brother to gliobastoma. Such a cruel disease.

I have no good words. May you find a measure of peace in your time of grief

I can't even imagine. I hold you in prayers and healing wishes

There’s no greater loss.

My lifelong partner died last year of the same awful disease.

You have my heartfelt sympathy.

but where in the brain was the tumor. We have a friend who also has the tumor in the thalamus and met someone whose tumor is in their frontal lobe.

I am sorry for your loss as well.

of her frontal lobes, a so-called "butterfly tumor."

Its location affected memory and impulse control. Radiation and chemo kept it stable for almost four years, but then stopped working.

She died at home, for which I'm grateful. We had excellent medical care, and then an excellent hospice team.

The grief is still overwhelming at times. But I'm also grateful for having had her in my life.
