Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A powerful memoir of a love that leads two people to find a courageous way to part—and a woman’s struggle to go forward in the face of loss—that “enriches the reader’s life with urgency and gratitude” (The Washington Post) “A pleasure to read . . . Rarely has a memoir about death been so full of life. . . . Bloom has a talent for mixing the prosaic and profound, the slapstick and the serious.”—USA Today ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR Amy Bloom began to notice changes in her husband, Brian: He retired early from a new job he loved; he withdrew from close friendships; he talked mostly about the past. Suddenly, it seemed there was a glass wall between them, and their long walks and talks stopped. Their world was altered forever when an MRI confirmed what they could no longer ignore: Brian had Alzheimer’s disease. Forced to confront the truth of the diagnosis and its impact on the future he had envisioned, Brian was determined to die on his feet, not live on his knees. Supporting each other in their last journey together, Brian and Amy made the unimaginably difficult and painful decision to go to Dignitas, an organization based in Switzerland that empowers a person to end their own life with dignity and peace. In this heartbreaking and surprising memoir, Bloom sheds light on a part of life we so often shy away from discussing—its ending. Written in Bloom’s captivating, insightful voice and with her trademark wit and candor, In Love is an unforgettable portrait of a beautiful marriage, and a boundary-defying love.

Book excerpt: 'A fine book' The Sunday Times 'Powerful' Guardian 'Wonderful' The Telegraph 'Moving, funny, warm' Mail on Sunday 'Brave, compassionate, tender and honest' Metro 'This book began as an attempt to hold on to my witty, storytelling mother with the one thing I had to hand. Words. Then, as the enormity of the social crisis my family was part of began to dawn, I wrote with the thought that other forgotten lives might be nudged into the light along with hers. Dementia is one of the greatest social, medical, economic, scientific, philosophical and moral challenges of our times. I am a reporter. It became the biggest story of my life.' Sally Magnusson Sad and funny, wise and honest, Where Memories Go is a deeply intimate account of insidious losses and unexpected joys in the terrible face of dementia, and a call to arms that challenges us all to think differently about how we care for our loved ones when they need us most. Regarded as one of the finest journalists of her generation, Mamie Baird Magnusson's whole life was a celebration of words - words that she fought to retain in the grip of a disease which is fast becoming the scourge of the 21st century. Married to writer and broadcaster Magnus Magnusson, they had five children of whom Sally is the eldest. As well as chronicling the anguish, the frustrations and the unexpected laughs and joys that she and her sisters experienced while accompanying their beloved mother on the long dementia road for eight years until her death in 2012, Sally Magnusson seeks understanding from a range of experts and asks penetrating questions about how we treat older people, how we can face one of the greatest social, medical, economic and moral challenges of our times, and what it means to be human.

Book Synopsis The Problem of Alzheimer's by : Jason Karlawish
Download or read book The Problem of Alzheimer's written by Jason Karlawish and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A definitive and compelling book on one of today's most prevalent illnesses. In 2020, an estimated 5.8 million Americans had Alzheimer’s, and more than half a million died because of the disease and its devastating complications. 16 million caregivers are responsible for paying as much as half of the $226 billion annual costs of their care. As more people live beyond their seventies and eighties, the number of patients will rise to an estimated 13.8 million by 2050. Part case studies, part meditation on the past, present and future of the disease, The Problem of Alzheimer's traces Alzheimer’s from its beginnings to its recognition as a crisis. While it is an unambiguous account of decades of missed opportunities and our health care systems’ failures to take action, it tells the story of the biomedical breakthroughs that may allow Alzheimer’s to finally be prevented and treated by medicine and also presents an argument for how we can live with dementia: the ways patients can reclaim their autonomy and redefine their sense of self, how families can support their loved ones, and the innovative reforms we can make as a society that would give caregivers and patients better quality of life. Rich in science, history, and characters, The Problem of Alzheimer's takes us inside laboratories, patients' homes, caregivers’ support groups, progressive care communities, and Jason Karlawish's own practice at the Penn Memory Center.
Download or read book Odysseys of Love written by Graehme Hall and published by Hermaden Press. This book was released on 2014-10-18 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Odysseys of Love is an invitation to think differently about death. The book offers a journey to a new understanding: looking at death from a broader and more expansive view. Death is a part of everyone's life, yet it is something we rarely take the time to consider. We need to make peace with death. The fear of death and dying can be an obstacle to fully living. The grief we experience when loved ones die can be difficult to bear. When we understand the eternal nature of the soul and know the relationships with our loved ones have not ended, that knowledge can help us find resolution. Graehme Hall has studied death for many years. This book is the understanding she has received from years of seeking answers to her questions. Hall shares the building blocks that have formed the basis of her current thinking. She shares the answers she has found to more than thirty questions people have asked her. What happens when I die? How will it feel to die? Where do I go? Can I communicate with my loved one who has died? Do animals go to heaven? Hall believes in God, a Divine Source, that is unconditional love. Everything in the Universe is energy and interconnected; energies that are alike are attracted to each other. We all go to heaven, to a loving and joyful non-physical realm, when we die. According to Hall, relationships with our loved ones are eternal: they do not end simply because someone dies. The book includes personal stories of how Hall coped with her husband's death and her mother's dementia. She writes about the importance of choosing one's thoughts and learning to appreciate the experiences our loved ones in heaven are having. The author presents a spiritual perspective on dementia, a new paradigm, and helps the reader understand the spiritual role dementia can play in someone's life. She also provides practical tips on coping with the emotional challenges of the caregiver role. Odysseys of Love is divided into five sections. The first section is titled, "A Re-introduction to Death" and explains the beliefs that form the foundation of the book. The second section has answers to questions people have asked the author about death. The third section offers a spiritual perspective on dementia. The fourth section builds a continued understanding of death and our eternal nature. It includes topics like preparing to die, forgiveness, suicide, lost expectations, and dealing with grief. The final section is called "Moving Forward" and demonstrates that there really is no conclusion to life. "I have been struck," Hall writes, "by how often the fear of death, and a misunderstanding of death, can impede one's life. The lack of knowledge can bring devastating pain. Death is something we all encounter in our lives. Isn't it logical we would try to understand it?" Odysseys of Love provides a loving and thoughtful perspective to spiritual questions much older than we are. It is a fascinating journey into understanding subjects that, eventually, affect us all. Whether you agree with the author or not, you will find your own thinking expanding as you ponder, "What if..."
Book Synopsis The Last Ten Days - Academia, Dementia, and the Choice to Die by : Martha Risberg Brosio
Download or read book The Last Ten Days - Academia, Dementia, and the Choice to Die written by Martha Risberg Brosio and published by Myers Education Press. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Last Ten Days addresses the concerns of loved ones and caregivers, providing them not only with information but also acknowledging the sadness and frustration, the heartache and bittersweet memories experienced during this painful time. To these readers, the book says, “You are not alone.” The Last Ten Days: Academia, Dementia, and the Choice to Die is a heartrending memoir of love, scholarship, dignity, courage, and the choices one is forced to make when given the devastating diagnosis of a terminal illness. Spanning sixty years, this extraordinary book recounts the love story of Martha Risberg Brosio and her husband, Richard Brosio, Ph.D., a brilliant scholar and college professor whose communication skills dazzled all with whom he came in contact. Teenage sweethearts who went their separate ways after high school, Martha and Richard reconnected twenty-six years later over a friendly dinner that sparked into passionate love. They married in 1983, enjoying a vibrant life. Then tragedy struck. In late 2013, Richard was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Aphasia, a type of dementia similar to Alzheimer’s that affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. The disease impacted Richard’s ability to communicate. Eventually, he would lose his verbal and processing skills. There was no cure. Determined to have a dignified death at the time and in the manner of his own choosing, Richard hastened his death two years after his diagnosis by voluntarily stopping eating and drinking, seeking only palliative and hospice care until the end. Reminiscent of Still Alice, The Notebook, Tuesdays with Morrie, and When Breath Becomes Air, The Last Ten Days grabs the heartstrings and gives a mighty tug.
