📖 Standing Beside Him: A Partners/Spouses Guide
A practical, compassionate guide for partners and spouses navigating prostate cancer together.
When your partner is diagnosed with prostate cancer, it can feel like the ground drops out from under you.
Standing Beside Him was written for spouses, partners, and loved ones who suddenly find themselves carrying this weight. It is not a textbook. It is a companion filled with practical tools, worksheets, reflections, and real caregiver experiences to help you feel steadier, more prepared, and less alone.

📚 Two Companion Books for Different Parts of the Journey
These books were written for different seasons of life, but both grew from the same place: wanting caregivers and partners to feel less alone and better supported.
📖 Standing Beside Him: A Partners/Spouses Guide
For the caregiving years
When someone you love is diagnosed with prostate cancer, life can begin changing quickly. Appointments, treatments, side effects, changing roles, and emotional exhaustion can leave partners feeling unprepared and overwhelmed.
Standing Beside Him was written for the years of active caregiving and life alongside treatment.
Inside, you’ll find:
• Guidance through diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship
• Practical worksheets and caregiver tools
• Support for fear, intimacy changes, exhaustion, and daily caregiving
• Real stories and reflections from partners and spouses
This book is for the season of asking:
“How do we get through this together?”

🕊️ Orphaned Partners: A Quiet Companion for Life After Loss
For life after caregiving changes or ends
Not every caregiving story ends the same way.
Some partners find themselves trying to rebuild daily life after loss. Others find themselves grieving changes in identity, routine, closeness, health, or the caregiving role itself.
Orphaned Partners was written for the quieter season that follows.
This is not a workbook or a guide for moving on. It is a gentle companion for the days when grief feels ordinary, uneven, lonely, and difficult to explain.
Inside, you’ll find:
• Reflections on grief and identity after caregiving
• Stories grounded in ordinary daily life
• Gentle guidance for rebuilding routines and caring for yourself
• Practical support for navigating life after loss
This book is for the season of asking:
“Who am I now, and how do I keep going?”

🌻 Why I Wrote These Books
When my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer, I went looking for a guide written for partners and spouses. I wanted something that acknowledged the fear, exhaustion, practical responsibility, and quiet loneliness that can come with caring for someone you love. Most of all, I wanted something that spoke directly to the person standing beside the patient.
I could not find the book I needed.
So I started writing.
Standing Beside Him grew out of the caregiving years. It became the book I wish I had during appointments, treatment decisions, long evenings at home, and all the moments that felt harder and more complicated than I expected. It brings together practical tools, worksheets, reflections, and real caregiver experiences to help partners and spouses feel steadier and less alone while they are trying to navigate all of it.
As I continued writing and listening to other caregivers and partners, I realized there was another part of this experience people were carrying quietly too.
Not every caregiving story ends the same way.
Some people are trying to rebuild life after loss. Others are grieving changes in identity, routine, closeness, health, or the caregiving role itself.
That eventually became Orphaned Partners.
Together, these books were written to support people during very different parts of the journey: one during active caregiving, and one for the quieter life that can follow afterward.
My hope for both books is simple. I hope readers feel understood, supported, and a little less alone in whatever part of the journey they are living.
