In honor of Valentine’s Day, Mamas Facing Forward will be focusing the next two weeks on relationships and intimacy – and how these can be impacted by chronic illness. We’ll share a review of a book about sex and chronic illness, tips for talking to your doctor about your sex life, useful ideas for improving communication with your partner, and some of my own personal experience on managing chronic illness and my relationship.
But when we share resources about relationships (or any subject, really!) we know that not every article will speak to every situation. While we always attempt to share a variety of perspectives on this site, the resources we plan to share in the next two weeks generally focus on improving relatively stable, long-term relationships.
So, before we share these resources, we want to start by saying that if you are currently struggling with your relationship – or if you aren’t currently in a relationship at all – we see you. And we are here to support you too. Please reach out in our private Facebook group, because you are definitely not alone.

Here are our resources that focus on difficult or ending relationships and/or being a single parent while living with chronic illness. We know that this is a only a small offering of articles on these topics, so if you would be interested in sharing your story or advice in the areas of dating, single parenting, divorce/separation, co-parenting, or blended families, please reach out to info@mamasfacingfoward.com!
