Overview

This powerful, passionate caregiver's journal opens a window into the space between life and loss. Over the course of nine months, Matthew Broad recorded his days as the primary caregiver, companion, and witness for his life partner's final passage. Through his words, we see both the beauty and the burden of loving someone through a difficult journey with cancer. What emerges is not only the story of Janet's final chapter, but also a tribute to their shared life-the courage, exhaustion, and tenderness that defined their time together.
