You're living your happily-ever-after with your partner and suddenly—you get sick. What now? Chronic illness can have a devastating impact on your life—especially your romantic relationship. You may be so focused on your health, that you often have to put your relationship second. You might feel guilty that you can't do the things you used to do together. And you may even worry that you are a burden to your partner. So, how can you come to terms with your own chronic illness, and nurture your relationship at the same time?

Grounded in evidence-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), this grief-informed guide offers powerful skills to help you and your partner adjust, communicate, and protect your bond. You'll learn positive coping strategies to help you manage difficult emotions such as anger, sadness, and grief; promote intimacy and understanding between you and your partner; and identify what it is that truly matters to each of you—so you can move forward in your lives with your values closely aligned.

Chronic illness is now a part of your life—but it doesn't have to define your life, or your relationship. Once you've healed from the initial shock and trauma of a diagnosis, you will need to build lasting coping skills to navigate life with your partner. This evidence-based guide can help you, each step of the way.
