I’m very sorry to hear she’s not well. Please pass on my support. I hope that whatever happens from here on out that she comes out of it stronger and better than before.
If there is one thing I learned from my own experiences and once piece of advice I can give to everyone it’s this:
When going through this stressful process from an Outland perspective, communication with your partner is absolute key. My husband and I spent six years on opposite sides of the globe before we were able to be together, and not a single day went by in those six years that we did not have some sort of communication, whether that was text, video calls, etc. Even if it was just to say ‘Goodnight, I love you. I’ll see you tomorrow.’ That time together everyday even if we could only manage five minutes is why our relationship survived and is stronger than ever now.
Communicate, communicate, communicate. I cannot stress that enough.
