If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and you have decided to spend as much time as possible at home with your soulmate, whether as caregiver or patient, you are not alone. You are starting down a road that neither of you have traveled before, and one that will end in death and separation. It is not an easy road and there will be many potholes in the way, but it must be traveled. There are many alternative pathways, but they all converge at the end of the journey. There is no turning back, no matter how much you wish for a different ending. When my wife Gerda was given the diagnosis of incurable cancer, we chose to stay at home and be together until the end. This book explains what we did, what we thought and how we reacted to each new circumstance that arose. The story takes you from diagnosis to death, and then through the first seven months of grief and recovery. Hang on tight because the road is bumpy and the direction is not always clear.
