It’s hard. Really hard. To right now always be the support for your spouse. To always be the words of encouragement when things don’t seem to go the way we think they should. To always be sacrificing time together because of residency. But I chose him and I chose to support him through life. The good, bad, and the ugly. This is what you do in marriage. There are times when he’ll do (and has done) the same for me. He has been there for me through a really rough period in my life.
If this journey was easy, then more people would stick around/do it. But it’s not easy. It’s hard. I knew what I was getting into though. My mom, my dad, and my in laws all told me what it would be like. What I can expect. First, let me just say, GOD BLESS my mother in law because she has helped me navigate the journey of residency and has allowed me to use her as a support.
Sometimes we think we can do it all ourselves. But when in reality we cannot. We need the help and support of others. 💕
