I'll Be Seeing You

En savoir plus sur le livre

"Elizabeth Berg's father was an Army veteran who was a tough man in every way but one: He showed a great deal of love and tenderness to his wife. Berg describes her parents' marriage as a romance that lasted for nearly seventy years; she grew up watching her father kiss her mother upon leaving home, and kiss her again the instant he came back. His idea of when he should spend time away from her was never. But when Berg's father developed Alzheimer's disease, her parents were forced to leave the home they loved and move into a facility that could offer them help. Their children realized it was time to, in effect, parent the people who had for so long parented them--a hard transition, mitigated at least by flashes of humor and joy. The mix of emotions could make every day feel like walking through a minefield. Then came redemption. I'll Be Seeing You charts the passage from the anguish of loss to the understanding that even in the most fractious times, love can heal, transform, and lead to graceful--and grateful--acceptance."--Back cover
