Scenario

When couples struggle to grieve chronic illness together

My husband has been living with MS for three years now and we've both gotten good at managing the practical stuff but terrible at talking about what we're each losing, and I think we're protecting each other right into complete emotional isolation.

More people experience this than they realize.
