When couples need to rebuild intimacy after a disability diagnosis

My partner was diagnosed with a chronic illness two years ago and we've both changed so much in how we love each other — they need different things now, I need different things now — but we keep trying to love each other the way we used to instead of figuring out who we are together now.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You are both grieving the relationship you had while trying to create space for the relationship you could have, but neither of you knows how to let go of what was in order to discover what is.
