Everything has changed and went from the time the verge of family having everything to

having nothing.

What you're about to hear is an unscripted one-time couples counseling session.

It contains mature themes and listener discretion is advised.

For the purposes of maintaining confidentiality, names and some identifiable characteristics

have been removed.

Their voices and their stories are real.

We just got married like three and a half years ago, but I feel like we've been married

40 years, you know, just with the number of things that have happened to us.

This couple is in their early thirties and yet they have already experienced so much.

They've been hit with a car accident on his side, a benign, brain tumor on her side.

And then he had massive heart failure and he died.

He ended up being in a coma for eight weeks.

One of the consequences is that it has left him with a slurred speech and a limited mobility.

You know, I can't watch the park without getting winded and they just feel a little bit

loose for them to be here now.

I can't do what I used to do.

And in addition to the many health crises that they have undergone, they also are weathering

the vicissitudes of the everyday life raising their two-year-old child as well as her two

children from a previous relationship.

He being unemployed and she being over functioning.

Now she's out working all the time and I'm going to take care of the two-year-old at home.
