Amy Bloom began to notice changes in her h usband\, Brian: He retired early from a new job he loved\; he withdrew fro m close friendships\; he talked mostly about the past. Suddenly\, it seeme d there was a glass wall between them\, and their long walks and talks sto pped. Their world was altered forever when an MRI confirmed what they coul d no longer ignore: Brian had Alzheimer&rsquo\;s disease.
\nForced t o 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 kne es. Supporting each other in their last journey together\, Brian and Amy m ade 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.
\nIn this heartbreaking and surprising memoir\, Bloom sheds light on a part of life we so often shy away from di scussing&mdash\;its ending. Written in Bloom&rsquo\;s captivating\, insigh tful voice and with her trademark wit and candor\, \;In Love \;is an unforgettable portrait of a beautiful marriage\, and a boundary-defying love.
