✨ Welcome — You’re in the Right Place
🌻 You Don’t Have to Do This Alone 🌻
If someone you love is facing prostate cancer, and you’ve suddenly found yourself trying to be strong for both of you… this space was created for you.
🌻🌻🌻
A Personal Welcome
Hi, I’m Debra. I’m not a nurse or a licensed caregiver — I’m a partner who’s walked this road beside the man I love. When prostate cancer entered our lives, I was suddenly a caregiver too, without a map or training. I had to learn as I went — what questions to ask, how to balance my own emotions, and how to hold us both together when everything felt overwhelming. 🌻
That’s why I created Standing Beside Him and this website — to share the tools, reflections, and encouragement I wish I had from the very beginning. Everything here comes from lived experience, tested in real life, with the hope it makes your journey a little lighter.
