I know we both go through trying to live with physical limitations and chronic pain.


I don't mean to minimize your concerns within your own marriage/situation by telling you that I am concerned that the sudden and drastic change in my situation might "trigger" you some by driving some of these concerns home.


That said, I do realize that it's likely very many of us are in a very similar situation... or will be, maybe even unexpectedly.


We are each very vulnerable. We are especially vulnerable if we are totally medically disabled (cannot work). We are often then, at least somewhat, dependent upon our spouse's income and/or benefits... or we are living at poverty levels or below poverty levels.


Your concerns, ~Christina, are very real. I am so sorry you must consider such. a situation.


I am here for you in any way you find helpful.
