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.
