Say Goodbye Before Forgetting
Literature在遗忘之前告别
(us) Amy Bloom
She is an author, "America's contemporary Hugo," and a woman who helped her Alzheimer's-stricken husband seek euthanasia. From Alzheimer's disease to euthanasia, from a life of amnesia, dementia, and disability to a dignified death, how many medical, legal, and ethical difficulties does a person have to overcome, and how many times does a family have to make choices, cry, and say goodbye? In a concise way, Amy Bloom records this rarely traveled journey, telling how she tried her best to find a painless, legal, and dignified way to end her life for her husband, and finally realized his wish in Switzerland. Written about love and loss, as well as meditations on life and death, this is a deeply moving memoir.
