About the book:
They have shared their lives for over 50 years. But now the man is seriously ill. He has been receiving palliative care for a long time; and so the couple's radius becomes ever more restricted, their visits less frequent, their dependence on each other greater. Helga Schubert tells a powerful and poetic story about how to keep one's sanity and the other's dignity in such circumstances.
