I Still Do: Loving and Living with Alzheimer's

I Still Do: Loving and Living with Alzheimer's

â€œThis is a lovely book about a devastating problemâ€”Alzheimerâ€™s. The pages are like poetry and the photos sayÂ more than words. Anyone who has cared for a loved oneÂ with Alzheimerâ€™s will relate to and appreciate every one ofÂ these pages.â€
â€”Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day Oâ€™Connor

â€œThere is a sweetness in the light Judith Fox finds thatÂ softens a brutally unique and all too common experience.Â Ms. Fox has made the story about love and devotion when itÂ might easily be expected to be about a more tragic and angryÂ vision. But the tough stuff is lurking around every corner...â€
â€”Arthur Ollman, Director, School of Art, Design,Â and Art History at San Diego State University

Three years into their marriage, Judith Foxâ€™s husband, Dr.Â Edmund Ackell, was diagnosed with Alzheimerâ€™s Disease.Â Over the course of the next ten years, Fox watched as theÂ man who used to perform surgery, fly planes, and runÂ universities, forgot how to turn on the coffee maker, placeÂ a phone call, or remember what his wife had told him twoÂ minutes earlier.

More than 5 million Americans have Alzheimerâ€™s. A poignantÂ and beautiful portrait of a man with Alzheimerâ€™s as seenÂ through the loving lens and words of his wife and care-partner,Â I StillÂ Do: Loving and Living With Alzheimerâ€™s puts aÂ human face in front of the statistics, exploring the diseaseÂ through Foxâ€™s intimate photographs and poetic writing.Â While the details of I Still Do are personal and unique, thisÂ deeply candid story of illness, aging, partnership, and lovingÂ is universal.
