What Now!

"What Now" is the true story of the effects of brain cancer on a family and the people who know and love them. Chronicled on the CaringBridge* by the wife of Tom Vinje as life was unfolding, you will grasp what goes on behind the scenes when an illness of this magnitude strikes out of nowhere.

In addition to divulging what life was like before the illness, "What Now " is a compilation of the journal entries as written by Chrissie Betlach Vinje and a portion of the guestbook entries written by others in response. Follow along on this family's journey into an extremely dark period and witness the triumphs and heartbreak associated with this insidious disease. Chrissie will give you glimpses and outright dissertations of the grief, despair, and pain of losing her husband at such a young age. Along the way, behold the miracle and feel the energy of camaraderie, love, faith, and hope as people come together in support, empathy, and compassion.
