Content descriptions
General Note: | Forced to confront the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and its impact on the future he had envisioned, the author's husband was determined to die on his own terms. Supporting each other in their last journey together, they 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. This heartbreaking and surprising memoirm 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. |
