✨ A Note from Debra

When my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer, I went searching for a guidebook written for partners — something that spoke to the fears, exhaustion, and love I was carrying all at once. I couldn’t find it. So I wrote the book I needed.

Standing Beside Him is that book. It’s not just information — it’s a hand to hold. It’s the words I wish someone had spoken to me in the doctor’s office, in the quiet hours after treatment, and in the moments when I felt invisible.

This guide is filled with the very tools, worksheets, and gentle reminders that helped me find steady ground. It also carries the voices of other caregivers — real stories from people who have walked this road, reminding us that we’re not alone.

I believe this book will meet you exactly where you are — whether you’re just beginning the journey, deep in the long haul, or trying to reclaim balance after treatment.

🌻 My hope is that when you open these pages, you’ll feel supported, understood, and encouraged. That you’ll find both practical steps to make caregiving easier and tender words to remind you that your wellbeing matters too.

I can’t wait to share it with you. 💛
