A Quadriplegic and his Caregiving Wife (

Cole is a spinal cord injury survivor who is now a quadriplegic. While rehabbing after his accident Cole saw Charisma, who worked at the clinic. He instantly experienced butterflies in his stomach and felt drawn to her.
Charisma is now Cole’s wife and caregiver. She hopes that when others hear their story, they see the two are in love and have a beautiful marriage.

    My brother became a quadriplegic from the neck down at 26 yrs old and on a vent. (Bc his diaphragm was also paralyzed) I was his nurse and sister depending on the moment. When he saw this beautiful relationship, it gave him a lot of hope. They truly inspired him to want to try and live. He started doing much better after watching their channel. Sadly, he suddenly and unexpectedly passed away 2.5 years ago. We were extremely close and I miss him every day!

I absolutely know this because I am married to a quadriplegic & we met when he was already injured. Our love is ‘normal’, actually probably better than other ‘normal people ‘. So, 42 yrs later, I can brag about our life , it IS NORMAL!😜👍🏻💥🤗 Wake up, humanity!🤓

It is definitely true that we all define ’normal’ differently (or have different connotations) - for me, it is something average. And I would wish for everybody that their relationships be much, much better than that. Perhaps I also should be clear that in my opinion, disability definitely isn’t an obstacle for full, meaningful, compassionate and loving relationships.

    We don't fall in love with a body- we fall in love with a soul. And that's a good thing because our bodies are constantly changing as we grow older each day and at any time any one of us can have something happen that impacts our body and renders it different then it used to be. Cole and Charisma are two beautiful souls that fell in love. They both have such a beautiful humility about them it is a pleasure to see such a lovely, kind and caring relationship!

    Even if she were his patient that's okay. My partner was my therapist at a rehab and we fell in love. We never dated until she no longer worked at that facility. We were essentially freinds for a year first. We celebrated 15 years together in March and I'm still as giddy as I was on our first date. We bought our first home her in Cali in 2014 and have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I struggle everyday, but her love has truly made it all worth it. I still struggle with the fact I have a disability and I don't tell anyone really....but I have love and my family. I have it all. Oh ya, she went on to get her LCSW and is a professor at a university and executive director of a wonderful non-profit serving impoverished women and children. She also created an art therapy class that should be in every school. She is the kindest person ever. In 15 years she has never been unkind to me. Never. I didn't even know that was humanly possible lol.

    This video has helped me tremendously. Thanks to the both of you and SBSK for sharing this story. I've been so worried about my upcoming battles and surgeries from complications from radiation and breast cancer and that my husband will be my caretaker for the months to come and possibly for the rest of my life. You guys are amazing, inspiring and you've made a huge impact on my mental well-being. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

    Thank you for addressing the issues you face because of racism as well as challenges of being in an interabled marriage. I once thought we lived somewhat in a post-rascist society. It is better to discuss the issue than to sweep it under the rug. Blessings to all of you!

    The intersection between racism and ableism is sooo hard to talk about and process. I'm usually the only POC in a relationship, and the more disabled one, which makes it really hard to get my partners to understand all the aspects I'm battling. While it's hard for both of you, there's probably a good chance to both understand each other because you both have your own experiences with isms, and you're both feeling effects of both isms (so he is experiencing how racism effects you both, and she is experiencing how ableism effects you both), which is an important thing for your relationship. i'm so glad you're talking about this.

    Man, 20 seconds in and I want to marry this couple myself. What beautiful, beautiful people inside and out. Cole has a wicked sense of humour too, that quip at 4:12 got me good. Edit- okay I think this is my favourite SBSK video. After my last serous relationship ended 4 years ago, I haven’t dated anybody. I now realise after this video, that I am letting my internalised ableism and beliefs that I’m not loveable because of my disability stopping me from looking for love. I’ve got self placed blinkers on. This video just lifted them in one go. I’m now following Cole and Charisma. Thank you so much Chris, Cole and Charisma ♥️

    Thank you so much for your channel. You both are great. You hit it on the head about love. It is there or it isn’t. I am 79yrs young and have spent over 54 of them with my wonderful wife who is the love of my life. Based on what I see in your eyes when you look at each other I expect the same for you guys. You two have taught me a lot about excepting things I can’t change. In the last two yrs. my health is going into the basement, however I intend to stay positive. I may be in a wheelchair myself soon. I am learning from you guys what that may be like. Although there are so many things I used to do that now I can’t, the things I have learned from your channel lets me know I can still do things and not to feel sorry for myself. Let’s stay positive together. Don
