註釋
When Olivia and Hob received his diagnosis of Alzheimer's, the enormity of that prospect propelled them to make a pact with one another: they would navigate the illness - consciously and lovingly - to the end.
The Majesty of Your Loving: A Couple's Journey Through Alzheimer's
is their courageous story. Given this couple's rich background in psychology, Buddhist meditation, and the wisdom traditions, they were able to handle the pain and promise of the illness with unusual thoughtfulness. The author not only writes about the inspirations and spiritual perspectives that sustained them, but gives an intimate account of how they faced loss, crisis, and eventually death. This book has a distinctively positive and uplifting tone, revealing that ultimately their experience was about growing in wisdom and deepening in love. An indispensable guide for anyone dealing with loss, each chapter includes a self-help section with reflections, suggestions, and seed thoughts. This memoir, unique for the its inclusive spiritual orientation, provides both hope and practical approaches to anyone dealing with mental loss or diminishment of any kind.
