Here, we consider how the social environment and culture in which a person lives, as well as social interactions such as family, work, and friendships, affect the individual's mind. Social support and social stress are deeply related to psychological health, so they cannot be overlooked for a happy life.

Now, let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I lost my partner, my soulmate of 35 years, to pancreatic cancer.
He passed away just 6 weeks after being diagnosed with cancer. He died just four days after being admitted to palliative care at Lifehouse Hospital in Sydney. It was a reality that I could not have imagined, believing that my life with him would last for a long time. I experienced an extraordinary world devoid of any color, my health was compromised, I couldn't even lift a single cabbage.

However, despite suffering and struggling, I was able to slowly recover from the intense trauma. On my process of recovery, I realized that a good partnership is the greatest treasure a person can have. Regardless of my regrets such as "I should have done this more.." I was able to see my relationship with my partner from a different perspective, then I found that I was happy. If you apply certain techniques, you can gradually transform misery into happiness.

Based on my real experience, I designed a course that will help you build a good partnership you can enjoy as your treasures. I hope this method will help you to see ordinary days as beautiful gems. We never want something extremely bad happen in our days, but unexpectedly, the time to say goodbye to someone precious comes. That's why I want you to enjoy this moment as greatest treasure before you think it is too late and wish you had done more at that time.
