Beskrivelse
Farewell To My Companion recounts the trials and tribulations faced by the author, when caring for her husband, a patient with Alzheimer's Disease. It highlights the doubts and the dedication involved and it is written with love and that sense of obligation inherent in such a task.
This is the personal journey of a wife's care for her husband, once a journalist and successful politician, now a victim of Alzheimer's Disease. Apart from a brief introduction to their past as a couple, it concentrates on the final years of his illness, on the terrible memory loss which affected their relationship. It delves, too, into his medical care and hospital treatment, but most of all, into the doubts and intricacies of his wife's emotions as she confronts his end and the knowledge of her solitary future. It is a book written with the aim of sharing with others who might be passing through a similar experience, in the hopes that it might encourage them and offer them a friendly hand.
