Hi,
I am currently caring for a family member with stage 4 GBM. I have been praying for him constantly and a few nights ago thought I heard God responding to me and telling me he was going to be healed and all this worrying was for nothing.
i am aware that the chances of a full recovery from stage 4 GBM are highly unlikely but I am trying to choose faith over realistic outcomes. I guess I am looking here for religious reassurance from people. I have been too scared to tell the family about the conversation I felt I had with God as I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up but I do really really want to have complete faith in what I heard him say. Please help, I really need support carrying this big thing around.
thank you! xx
HI ERL06
I'll be honest, I am not a religious person. I would describe myself as an agnostic and more spiritual in beliefs but I would never cast doubt on anyone else's beliefs. If your experience brings you comfort then no one has the right to take that away from you.
Supporting and caring for someone going through a GBM journey is an emotional rollercoaster ride. There's some support advice on the main website that might help here too. Here's the links

This is a safe and supportive space as you know so please reach out here anytime. There's always someone around to listen. You might also want to consider giving the helpline a call or even speaking to your local minister/priest about your experience.
sending love and light and hugs
