Today

For over 50 years, they have loved each other and shared their lives. But now the man is seriously ill. He has been receiving palliative care for years, his world is becoming increasingly limited, visits are fewer, and his dependence is growing. Throughout the hours of a day, Helga Schubert narrates how one can maintain one's sanity while the other retains their dignity, and what it is like to walk through the in-between worlds with a terminally ill person. She also reflects on how love can turn into compassion. The stories meander through their shared and individual pasts, infused with gentle humor and free from pathos. It is a touching declaration of love for the man by her side and for all the small and large things that make life worth living amidst the adversities of old age.
