About this listen
A masterfully told portrait of the evolution and end of a marriage due to incurable disease.
With raw honesty and piercing insight, Slow Loss chronicles a woman's experience as her husband succumbs to Parkinson's and dementia, and she evolves from wife to caregiver to widow and grows in unexpected ways. Kelly's memoir shows us the rush of joy and passion of a marriage's beginning, the contentment and life-as-usual during the middle, the heartbreak of a long, difficult end as she cares for her husband as he slowly loses cognitive and physical abilities, and the uneasy grief of feeling relieved when he dies.
Heartbreaking yet laced with dark humor, Slow Loss unveils the realities of caregiving, from being crushed by anger and fear to making hard decisions with surprising outcomes. It is brave, inspirational, and encouraging without a shiff of toxic positivity.
Slow Loss speaks to anyone facing the gradual loss of a loved one, offering hard-earned wisdom, a beacon of hope, and so much love.
Let Lois Kelly's unflinching account be your lifeline.
