My husband is in remission after having colorectal cancer, he had 3 operations, chemo and a stoma for a little while. He has done fantastically and is the bravest person I know.

 
He keeps getting upset that he feels life will never go back to normal now. He had a physically demanding job before and has now had to take an admin role and works from home. He hates it and wants to leave but says everything still feels exhausting. He wants to go back to who he was before but knows it will never be the same. I’ve encouraged him to join the gym but he pushes himself to far, leaves in pain and doesn’t go back. He has a hernia and no abdominal muscles. I’ve tried getting him to go to the office but because he doesn’t have to he won’t.

What can I do to support him and help him accept the new normal and pace himself?
