Earlier I encouraged people with terrible pain that they can find a way to deal with it. It will likely bring challenges like nothing ever has, but don'd give up hope. You are not alone. Under these circumstances, it is normal to experience changes in your family and marriage, in your feelings about yourself as well as about your spouse. But please deal with them, rather than let events just take their natural course.
Life goes on.
The family members still need each other, in spite of the negatives you would all rather do without. All need to understand that the one with chronic pain is not physically able to do the same things with the family as in the past. But the important thing is not what is done, but rather that family activities do take place, in a pleasant emotional climate. In conclusion, if someone lives with pain, his or her family lives with it, too. Every member of the family needs to understand its cycles and how to cope with it in a proactive, positive way.
