The Alzheimer's journey unfolds through Julie Taylor Green's lyric to her loving partner, Mardee. The writing is insightful and so profoundly revealing that sometimes it is unclear in whose mind of these two loving partners we are immersed. A volume to be learned from and cherished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eStuart Zola\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, Ph.D., neuroscientist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn exquisitely intimate account of the losses that accompany Alzheimer's disease - \"a keychain,\" a \"button,\" \"a blue bead,\" a street, a face, a name, a life.

To reconstruct. To rebuild. In this tender and lyrical first collection, Green remembers not only the past, but also the present moment, reflecting on a partner's growing mental decline, while exploring the beauty and eternity of each moment. As Blake once wrote, Green sees eternity in a grain of sand, and perhaps that single granular moment is all that we have in this transitory world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeff Newberry\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, author, \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow to Talk about the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 11, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54090525147443,"sku":"9798901468821","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/SBWwxYKO4H9798901468821.webp?v=1789606282","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/navigating-the-quiet-descent-collection-recollection-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
