HI everyone
I don't often start a post these days although I still reply to the majority of them on here. I exchanged a few emails with the Community Team this week and suggested this might be an appropriate time to re-share a blog I first wrote for MacMillan in 2022. They agreed that this a was a timely idea but also asked me to update it. I agreed and here's the link to the original /updated blog.
Staying in the present at Christmas: how I coped with each 'last time' - Macmillan Online Community
Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries- all the trigger dates- are an emotional challenge for all involved during a GBM journey. I get that! The content of this blog is not meant to add to this so I will apologise now if it upsets anyone. The content is meant to offer love and support to everyone going through this journey. If my words can help ease the emotional challenge for just one person then it has been worth it.
Sending love and light and hugs to each and every one of you.

Hi Wee Me
Although I'm not a member of this group I read your blog and took a great deal from it. Having dealt with two separate cancers myself, and now going through it with my husband, I do try to stay in the present all the time and make the most of every day even if that's just sitting down with a good book on a wet and windy day like today.
Thank you for taking the time to write and share it.
