Scenario

When couples with chronic illness start competing instead of supporting

My partner and I are both dealing with long COVID symptoms and we've started competing over who feels worse instead of supporting each other, and I don't know how to get us back to being on the same team when we're both grieving our old selves.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared suffering can create competition for care instead of mutual understanding when grief remains unprocessed.
