Bøger af Esther Altshul Helfgott

A poet's chronology of caregiving for her spouse who struggled with Alzheimer's. An intimate recording of how the disease acts as a slow moving wedge to separate us from the ones we love. A powerful testament to all who love, care give and ultimately say goodbye.

Following her moving memoir, Dear Alzheimer's, about living with the gradual loss of her husband, Esther Altshul Helfgott's Listening to Mozart is a fitting and lovely companion collection that both takes the reader through her grieving and celebrates the husband she's lost. From the new widow's first angry bewilderment (you must be busy/ -what are you doing/that's so important) to her gradual coming to terms, she vividly conveys how alive the dead are after they've left us with their enormous absence. -Anne Pitkin
