Description
An intimate portrayal of a loving couple's struggle to accept the ravages of Alzheimer's while continuing to celebrate life and each other. A caregiver for her husband during the later stages of his disease, Ann was determined to stay in loving contact, but also to build a new life for herself. Through five sections of personal vignettes, Ann addresses difficult questions, including: How much longer can she care for her husband alone’ How and when will she make the choice for residential care’ How will she deal with the inevitable letting go’ Walking by the lake near the care center one day Julian stops his gibberish long enough to tell her, I’m okay, really okay. Now you be okay too. - from Amzon
