The terrorist inside my husband's brain, by Susan Schneider Williams (Robin's wife)

I believe this is a necesary read, although sad and raw.

I was hoping to see this linked. I had read it a while ago and it did a great job of explaining what happened. Thank you for sharing it.

Definitely a heavy read. But fuck man, it's so well written. A truly beautiful and elequently written piece that just echos with both love and grief.

Thank you for sharing this. The loss of Robin still hurts, even though I never knew him personally. It feels like one of the brightest lights on earth went out that day. My mother was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. It's been heavy and while this scared the hell out of me, it was also comforting to know we're not alone in these neurological battles.

Thanks again.

Thank you for sharing this. I knew he had some form of dementia but I never realized just how severe his symptoms became over time. I can almost feel the relief over her words, she no longer has to live and die based on his functioning. Such a bittersweet end to such a wonderful man's life. Thank you again.
