When chronic illness changes a couple's sexual relationship

My partner was diagnosed with a chronic condition that affects our sexual relationship, and we're both grieving the intimacy we used to have while trying to figure out what's possible now. We love each other but we're mourning in different ways and at different speeds.

What we've seen

Loss and adaptation are happening simultaneously, requiring both partners to grieve what was while creating what could be, often on different timelines.
