Men Living with Chronic Illness
or Pain Christian Support Group
and Resources
If
you're a man that lives with a chronic
condition, chances are it's even harder
to find someone to talk to about what
you're going through. Spiritual struggles,
not being able to provide for your family,
and difficulties doing "dad"
things, can all make living with pain
unbearable.
We
know that you will find some support and
understanding with these 40 or so other
men that are going through similar circumstances.
"When
the husband is the partner in
the marriage with the illness,
his usual role as fully involved
husband, father, and provider
is disrupted. The division of
responsibilities that the husband
and wife are accustomed to becomes
unbalanced, with more and more
transferred to the healthy wife.
The
home is then restructured with
the wife assuming her own responsibilities,
the responsibilities of her sick
husband, and the role of nurse
too. Conflict can arise when the
sick husband feels tension and
frustration because he cannot
function in every capacity that
he once did."

Other
Resources for Men
Not
all of these resourcs are specifically
just for me, or even specifically for
illness. But we have found that these
have helped a lot of en who were looking
for something to encourage them on their
illness journey.
Encouragement
for Men

Hearts The ministry of John Eldredge which
has some wonderful podcasts
and other resources for men who are wondering,

to be like for me?"
