"This really brought us closer together" - navigating a relationship with chronic illness

What's it actually like to date with chronic illness? And what's it like to date someone who lives with chronic illness?

That’s exactly what we’ll be exploring today - from both sides. I'm joined by my new husband Sebastian to discuss what it's like to be with someone who can’t do a lot of the things young people are expected to do? To see someone you love in pain and not be able to stop it? And how can you find joy, humour and happiness, even in the most challenging times?
