"I love you as much as I ever did. It's still me inside ..." For almost six decades, Sherry and her husband, Mike, have been by each other's side. Through success and loss, hope and devastating trauma, they have shared a life of indomitable love and solidarity. Then, in 2018, that life was shattered when Mike was diagnosed with logopenic progressive aphasia, a rare and progressive form of dementia. But the signs had been present for some time. So began Mike's journey into Dementialand-a terrifying place of no return. As always, Sherry was right by his side. In this heartbreaking, yet love- and hope-filled memoir, part case study, Sherry candidly shares with the reader their lives both before and after the diagnosis. She theorizes about the root causes of Mike's disease-still so mysterious to medical professionals-and enlightens the reader with resources providing academic context. First and foremost however, this is a warts-and-all journal about the reality of living with the cruel condition ... the heartbreaking moments as well as the happy ones. It is a must-read for anyone searching for hope amid the despair. And, above all, proof that, through it all, the one thing Mike has never forgotten is his love for Sherry.
