Katrin Seyfert liest aus: „Lückenleben: Mein Mann, der Alzheimer, die Konventionen und ich“

In the organizer's words:

Katrin Seyfert accompanied her husband through his Alzheimer's disease for five years. In his early 50s when he was diagnosed, he was a doctor and father of five children. She organized everyday family life, the finances, the care service. And finally the funeral. She is ruthlessly open and brutally honest about what it is like when your partner gradually loses their language and thus their identity. How she struggles with the role that is ascribed to her, first as a caring wife, then as a widow. And how she finds her own way of coming to terms with the gap left by her husband. Life strikes, and with her texts she strikes back: against conventions, against taboos, against self-denial.
