Résumé

Last spring, my wife was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor and underwent surgery. She bore severe neurological impairment thereafter and became dependent on me for an almost permanent basis. I experienced this personal tragedy as profoundly unfair before realizing what it could mean for me. I would like to share some of my insights because they allowed me to face this fate more peacefully, with a growing awareness of my grieving process.
