Billy's Monster: A Love And Life Surrendered Amidst War With The Alzheimer's Monster - 9780578188003

A poignant and personal account of the progressive ravages of Early-Onset Alzheimer's disease, not only on Billy's memory and quality of life, but also the relationship between a husband and a wife, as the disease steadily dissolved the partnership of marriage far too soon. The transition of Billy's fiery independence into that of a childlike dependent was consistent and confounding, and a stark contrast to the vibrant personality he had always embodied. The Monster of Alzheimer's grew fierce quickly, but with determination to fill the final chapter of their love story with moments of joy, a life of security built together in rural Montana was uprooted and transplanted on Oregon's serene central coast, allowing for one significant summer in which to search out adventure, reconnect with distant family members, and settle into a temporary bubble where they would share a precious season together.
