Hello Friend...
If you’ve found this page, chances are you might be dealing with a difficult diagnosis, whether for yourself or a loved one. Welcome.
This website and the book it was created for–We Were Better Together–are both a labor of love and an act of service for me. In 2022, I lost my wife Melissa to cancer. We were married for thirty years, but we spent the last eight of those working to navigate her illness while still living a beautiful life together. If you’d like to read more about Melissa, I’ve created a beautiful site dedicated to her – MelissaShearer.com
With WeWereBetterTogether.com, we’ll offer a variety of articles on dealing with illness as partners or within your family and how to have a better experience. I hope that something here will be helpful to you, and I’m sending you every wish for good health and true fulfillment.
