I'm delighted to present my recent chat with my almost-namesake Cathy Chester and her husband Gary. Cathy and Gary began dating in 1985, the year before Cathy's diagnosis, which means that at the time of recording they have been together for nearly 40 years - incredible!
Cathy and Gary share valuable insights into the importance of communication and mutual respect in maintaining a happy and successful marriage, especially when facing the challenges of MS. They also emphasized the importance of empathy and understanding in their relationship. They acknowledge each other's needs and emotions, whether it's taking a break for self-care or providing support during difficult times.
As an award-winning writer and certified health advocate, Cathy is dedicated to helping other MSers feel less lonely, isolated and overwhelmed than she did when she was diagnosed. She is passionate about helping those with MS feel better about themselves and the world around them.
It was such an honor to be able to interview and meet them both. I hope that you'll be able to feel the love and support they give to each other.
