More than seven million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and millions more are caring for a loved one with dementia. When illness changes a relationship, caregivers face difficult questions about commitment, love, and how to care for someone else without losing themselves in the process. Nita Tucker discusses the challenges of caregiving, the importance of dignity and resilience, and what it means to love someone through a long goodbye. Her deeply personal story offers insight into the realities of caring for a partner with dementia and the questions we all face about love, loss, and commitment. Nita is the author of How Not to Stay Single When . . . Your Husband Has Alzheimer’s and Two Girlfriends.
