Many caregivers notice changes weeks or months into treatment. If something feels different and you’re not sure why, you’re not imagining it — support tools are available here, and bringing your observations to the care team can help guide next steps.

Personal Welcome
A Personal Welcome
Hi, I’m Debra. I walked this road beside the man I love when prostate cancer became part of our lives. Almost overnight, I found myself a caregiver — learning as I went, asking new questions, and trying to hold us both steady through the unknown.
Along the way, I discovered how much caregivers carry — not just the visible tasks, but also the invisible weight. And I also learned that even the smallest bit of guidance or encouragement can make a hard day feel lighter. 🌻
That’s why I created Standing Beside Him and this website — to share the very tools, reflections, and reminders I wish I had at the beginning. Inside the 🌻 Caregiver Tools Library, you’ll find free worksheets, calming practices, and gentle guides created to support you through the hardest days.
Please remember: you don’t have to do this alone. 💛
Being a caregiver doesn’t come with a manual. This page is your gentle doorway into the support waiting for you here.
Whether you’re looking for practical worksheets, answers to common questions, or simply a reminder that you’re not alone, you’ll find a clear path forward below.
✨ For hands-on help, visit the 🌻 Caregiver Tools Library — a free collection of worksheets, calming practices, and gentle reflections created to steady you through the hardest days.
