Voices of Experience: Soul Hunger in Love and Loss

Source
Once again (with his permission) I am privileged to share one of Harry Proudfoot’s beautiful posts. Readers may recall that Harry’s beloved wife Jane died of neuroendocrine tumor cancer (NET) in December of 2010. Harry is dedicated to killing the cancer that took his wife, and Walking with Jane is the foundation he established in her memory. His goal is “to provide one-stop access to the latest information about Neuroendocrine Cancer, Neuroendocrine Tumors and Carcinoid Syndrome research, treatment and events in support of patients, caregivers, physicians, and research and charitable efforts.” Read more about Harry’s efforts here.

I looked at myself in the mirror the other day—I mean really looked—not like I do when I shave or brush my teeth. I did not recognize the person staring back at me in the glass. Jane’s death 25 months ago from NET cancer has changed me as much physically as mentally and emotionally.
