Our love began on the internet, and after a year, I traveled from Berlin to Switzerland to live with my future husband. He was 26 years older and a true Swiss. After initial skepticism, his friends accepted me, and we became a happy couple. I was able to enjoy his love for ten years until Alzheimer's disease cast a shadow over our happiness. For me, this was all completely new territory, but I was able to give back to my husband during the years of his illness all the love and respect he had shown me. This book is meant to encourage those who choose to care for their loved ones at home. It demonstrates that this can work, albeit with a lot of effort and great love, as shown in the touching story of the author.
