The Waterline
For interabled couples rebuilding after acquired disability
When one partner acquires a disability, both lives change, but not in the same way.
Above the waterline, a couple may look strong, grateful, and resilient. Beneath it are the things few people see: grief, exhaustion, changing roles, lost intimacy, fear for the future, and the question:
How do we find each other again?
The Waterline is a guided conversation for couples rebuilding after acquired disability. Brandon and Lindsey Taylor bring the perspectives of both the survivor and the carepartner into the same space, making room for two different experiences of the same life-changing event.
We didn’t get a map for the wreckage, either.
Our Mission
Beyond This helps interabled couples reclaim the identity, connection, and intimacy that make life worth living.
For carepartners
You are still their partner. You’re allowed to have needs, too.
For survivors
You are more than a body in recovery.
You can love your person fiercely and still feel lonely, tired, misunderstood, or unseen.
