Book excerpt: In Sickness and in Health represents raw emotion. Inside you will find friends who have experienced what happens when chronic illness becomes the uninvited third member in your marital relationship. Inside, patients share their stories of pain and regret; partners and spouses share their frustrations, and fears. Both share the experiences of unplanned changes to their relationship. All share stories that are all too common when people gloss over the "In Sickness and in Health" part of their wedding vows, and reality sets in when someone is diagnosed with a life-altering chronic illness. This book provides a key message to all patients and partners: you are not alone. Others have walked (or been wheeled) in your shoes. In Sickness and in Health provides the unique ability to learn what your partner is likely to be thinking and why he or she is behaving in a specific way that you may not know about. This book does not promise to transform your relationship, but it does promise to leave you with the knowledge that you are not alone in your journey.
