Bill of rights for wives and partners

·         Cry as often as you need to but look for humor everyday.
·         Worry all you want but know that it won’t change a thing.
·         You can be a tower of strength and still fall apart.
·         You don’t always have to know the right thing to say.
·         Accept that you will never be the perfect wife/partner.
·         Forgive yourself for making mistakes.
·         On days when you have nothing to give, know that it will be enough.
·         Take care of yourself and don’t feel guilty about it.
·         Give yourself permission to forget about prostate cancer for a day.
·         Hate the disease but always love the man.
·         Grieve what you’ve lost and celebrate what you’ve got left.
·         Let go of the illusion that you can handle this alone.
·         When the burden is too heavy, give it to God.
