Shades of Love and Loss is the story of one woman’s journey through the shifting roles and responsibilities she finds herself facing as her husband’s intellect, persona and athletic grace are slowly stolen by an intractable, irreversible disease. There may be guidelines about what to do when your partner loses his or her mind, but by the time we know we need them, often we are already struggling with how to maintain ourselves and our relationship. But surrender is not an option. The human spirit demands more.Nina Krebs’ memoir is a thoughtful, intelligent, and questioning dialogue about a once vigorous, loving relationship that has become unbearably unbalanced. Both touching and heartbreaking, Shades of Love and Loss is an honest and articulate examination of a difficult stage in life, and a disease that is changing too many households in the world. This story of self-care and caregiving may not be uncommon, but it is a brave and straight-forward look at a reality that all of us wished didn’t exist.
