Overview

Until 2003, Ulla-Carin Lindquist led a fulfilling life in which she combined her exciting job as a Swedish television anchor and her happy home life with her husband and four children. Suddenly, when she was about to turn 50 that year, she was diagnosed with a terminal disease, and her world fell apart. She had, at most, a year left to live. During that time, as the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) slowly stripped her of her voice and mobility, Ulla-Carin Lindquist began to write and record what has been compiled in this book: her fears, her frustrations, her moments of anguish, but also her moments of unexpected happiness and intensity. Hasta el ano 2003 Ulla-Carin Lindquist llevaba una vida trepidante en la que combinaba su excelente trabajo como presentadora en la television sueca con una buena vida familiar junto a su marido y sus cuatro hijos. De repente, ese mismo ano, a punto de cumplir los cincuenta, se le diagnostico una enfermedad terminal, y todo su mundo se vino abajo. Le quedaba, con suerte, un ano de vida. Durante ese tiempo, a medida que la esclerosis lateral amiotrofica (ELA) le quitaba gradualmente su voz y su movilidad, Ulla-Carin Lindquist empezo a escribir y a grabar lo que ahora es este libro: sus miedos, sus frustraciones, sus momentos de angustia, pero tambien sus momentos de alegria inesperada y de enorme intensidad.
