How couples balance patient and caregiver needs during recovery

I had emergency surgery last week and my partner has been amazing but I can see they're exhausted and scared and trying to hold it together for me. We're both acting like they should be fine because I'm the patient, but they need support too and we don't know how to do both.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The caregiver's suffering often goes underground, depleting the very support the patient needs.
