True Love: Caring For My Sick Husband

Tragedy strikes a marriage and love prevails.

 

Everyone over a certain age fears that one day a momentous event outside one's control may occur that will change one's life forever. It happened to Alix Kates Shulman and her beloved husband when he fell from a sleeping loft, permanently injuring his brain. Her memoir, To Love What Is, explores life on the other side, with all its anxieties, risks--and surprising rewards.

Can you relate?

This is the way love should be. Love is completely selfless.. once you realize love isn't about all the gitty feelings you have for one another but instead, caring for a person inspite of everything, you will know what true love it! This video is great, thanks Tango!

It almost like the movie "The Notebook" conclusion, only in this case it's the wife caring for the husband with poor memory.

Selfless, patient, and devoted, I wish more people loved like that.
