When couples lose their ability to find joy while managing chronic illness together

My partner and I have been dealing with his chronic illness for two years and we've gotten so focused on managing symptoms and doctor appointments that we've forgotten how to enjoy anything together, even the good days. We used to find ways to laugh through hard things but now we just endure them and I miss who we were when we could still find lightness in the dark.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The weight of sustained difficulty has crushed their capacity for shared lightness, leaving them efficient but joyless.
