When I talk about research showing this or that, it’s important to realize that research in this area generally involves talking directly to people like yourselves who have gone through these types of life experiences, and then trying to derive and understand patterns
For example, we have found that people who report avoiding talking about the illness with their spouses have unhappier marriages and are more depressed
But ultimately research is nothing more than a reflection of what you tell us -
You are the experts
I’ve love now to hear about your experiences - what’s worked, what hasn’t - what you’ve learned
