Spousal Support

I can't say enough about being involved with someone who truly loves and supports you, especially if you have a chronic health condition. You would think that would go without saying, but I have known so many women who fall into this pitfall. When you have a chronic health condition, it is especially important to be involved with someone solid, stable and who puts you on a pedestal. Otherwise, you will end up wearing yourself down, possibly jeopardizing your health or your life. Other issues, like finances come into play as well, which makes it critical to find someone that is employed, for example. Of course, no relationship is ever perfect! But finding the "right one" becomes much more challenging for someone with Cystic Fibrosis, or other chronic health condition. This life partner has to be sensitive enough to be willing to take a chance on loving you, even though there is a strong possibility they may, at some point, lose you. These strong, yet caring individuals are diamonds in the rough ~ hard, but not impossible to find!

Don't give up! Don't settle for less! Your diamond is out there somewhere and YOU deserve it!
