Forced to confront the daily frustrations and realities of the disease and its impact on their lives and marriage, Brian resolved not to let it dictate his life and instead asked himself: What makes life meaningful, and how do I want to live the rest of mine? His decision led them to learn about Dignitas and to fly to Zürich for a peaceful ending of Brian's life. In Love is the illuminating story of a marriage, of the gradual awareness that something was deeply wrong, and of a disease's effect on a man, a woman, a family. What were the signs that Brian and Amy brushed aside, and how did they cope when they could no longer ignore the truth as confirmed by an MRI? Why, in retrospect, did Brian decide to retire from his architecture practice earlier than he had planned? Bloom goes on to recount their search for a dignified and kind solution to the pain of Brian's life, and their discovery of Dignitas in Zurich, where the choice for a dignified end of life can be realized. In this moving memoir, Bloom also writes of their life together before Alzheimer's, and of a love that runs so deep that they were willing to work to find a courageous way to part"-- Provided by publisher Ameche, Brian A., 1953-2020 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2022047865 Mental health. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00006455 11494 Bloom, Amy, 1953- http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n92106889 970 Alzheimer's disease Patients Biography. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009114743 11495 Alzheimer's disease Patients Family relationships. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007100789 11496 Assisted suicide. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh91004385 11497 Suicide, Assisted. https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017236 11498 Maladie d'Alzheimer Patients Biographies 11499 Maladie d'Alzheimer Patients Relations familiales 11500 Aide au suicide 11501 suicides. aat 11502 MEDICAL / Internal Medicine. bisacsh 11503 Alzheimer's disease Patients. fast (OCoLC)fst00806557 11504 Alzheimer's disease Patients Family relationships. fast (OCoLC)fst00806564 11496 Mental health. fast (OCoLC)fst01016339 11505 Alzheimer's disease. sears 2983 Alzheimer's disease Biography. sears 11506 Suicide. sears Biography. https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D019215 Autobiography. https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020493 11493 Autobiographies. fast (OCoLC)fst01919894 777 Biographies. fast (OCoLC)fst01919896 5221 Autobiographies. lcgft http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026047 777 Biographies. rvmgf 5221 Autobiographies. rvmgf 777 Biographies. lcgft http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049 5221 Online version: Bloom, Amy, In love New York : Random House, 2022. 9780593243961 (DLC) 2021008877 .b173275795 ddc BOOK 28332 28332 ddc 0 0 ABELJ ABELJ B 2022-06-16 27.00 B BLOO 2 523.3 BLOO 63761 2022-08-16 2022-07-28 2022-06-16 BOOK 1
