How couples navigate intimacy changes during illness

My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's two years ago and we're both pretending that our physical intimacy ending was a mutual decision when really we're both scared and sad and don't know how to talk about it. We're closer emotionally than we've ever been but there's this whole part of our love that we've just... sealed off.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Illness has rewritten the language of your bodies, and you're learning to love across new forms of vulnerability.
