With Thanks and Appreciation from Our Family

We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, support, and concern following Craig’s recent diagnosis. This is an incredibly difficult time for us, and we are taking things one day at a time as we process, adjust, and focus on being together.


How to Support Us

At this moment, what we need most are your thoughts, prayers, juju, or whatever source of positive energy you believe in. Your kindness, compassion, and quiet support means more to us than we can fully express.


For now, we don’t have a need for meal planning or food deliveries. Cooking together as a family is something we enjoy and plan on continuing as long as possible. As our needs evolve in the coming weeks and months, we will share specific requests for help through our website so that support can be directed where it is most meaningful and needed. We may need volunteers to help with transportation to and from appointments, to take the dog for a walk while the family is away and possibly offer companionship during certain times.


Thank you for respecting our wishes, for keeping our family in your hearts, and for surrounding us with care during this time.

 

Resources for Craig's Loved Ones

We recognize that a serious cancer diagnosis affects not only the patient and primary caregivers, but also family members and friends. As a family, we are just at the beginning stages of learning what resources are available to us as we navigate the emotional weight of this journey. We are going to do our best remembering to ask for help, take breaks, and seek support when we need it.


We have found the American Brain Tumor Association website to be very helpful and informative. The Social & Emotional Support page offers a care line, access to support groups, and educational webinars.


We encourage all loved ones to seek emotional or mental health support. You can reach out to local hospitals, cancer support organizations, or trusted healthcare providers to learn what services are available in your area.


There is strength in accepting support, finding comfort in community, and knowing that none of us are facing this alone.

I wish I didn’t know the word glioblastoma. Our family’s lives irrevocably shifted when we learned its definition.
