Like you, we were devastated...

...We want to help you have a life beyond illness!

Watch a 5 minute video of our story

Our story captures the devastation and pain chronic illness exacts on the patient and the caregiving spouse. We lost everything but each other. We were torn from our dreams and thrust headlong into a fight for our lives with an illness that wrecked our plans, savings, and ultimately became a battle for our souls. But we have learned how, not only to survive, but to have a life beyond illness. Our website, audio clips, blog, books, and CDs tell you and your spouse how to turn things around so you can start living again, despite the illness.

I'm Dr. William July, nationally bestselling relationship author. I have written four books on relationships and I'm frequently on national television and radio shows shows discussing relationships and news stories. My wife, Jamey, is a former athlete and a wellness expert. We were living the American dream when she was struck with a devastating illness. But we've learned how to have a life beyond illness and we want to help you do the same thing...

"One out of two couples will face a tragedy with one of the partners getting ill. This book will be an invaluable gift for those times. Every hospital gift shop should have a copy, every church counsel, and there should be a copy in a safe place in every home. I could not put it down, it was totally captivating."       -Mary Jo Rapini, LPC, Psychotherapist (As seen  on TLC's Big Medicine)

"Each chapter includes Action Plans, Questions to Consider and Journal Ideas. This book is very validating for patient and caregiver but at the same time it offers real life solutions and even spiritual inspiration. It is written with a deep sense of Love, compassion and hope."  -Marjorie Tietjen, bookpleasures.com
