stress

It takes a village. That's what they say about raising a child. But it can be the same thing for someone with brain tumors. There's just so much to do. Marie needed a full time person to take care of her, but there wasn't one. We live hundreds of miles away from family. Finances dictated that we had to work. Even placing Marie in a nursing home would have been a temporary solution before that benefit ran out. So it was up to my daughter and me to take the bull by the horns and get through this. Unfortunately it didn't take long for the stress to start making cracks.
