Only 1 left in stock - order soon. This illness makes for a horrendous life experience since every few seconds Clive thinks that he just woken up from a long coma like sleep and is deeply terrorized to find himself in an unknown environment and accompanied by unknown people. Like most dense amnesiacs, he retained no ability to make new memories, but fascinatingly was able to function almost normally when conducting familiar music. He retains between seven and thirty seconds of memory at any one time, which gives him the sensation of constantly re-awakening, confused and unsure of where he is or what has happened to him. A fascinating and involving story. Due to a virus in his brain, Clive Wearing ended up with what I've been referring to as goldfish memory.
I’m glad I read this. Very interesting story. 'Forever Today' is a memoir by Deborah Wearing, the devoted wife of Clive Wearing, a highly intelligent and accomplished musician and conductor whose brain was half eaten away by a virus, causing him to have the worst case of amnesia then known - lasting only a few seconds at a time. But she returns to him, through a crazy path (like all our crazy paths in this life). It is heartening and yet heartbreaking at the same time to read that despite of amnesia, Clive still remains so loving towards Deborah, so humorous, and his music talent so ingrained in him. .This is a great true story of love and commitment. It was an honest story of a difficult life (two lives) - that began to grow difficult when the author’s husband got a virus that went undiagnosed and thus leading to significant brain damage, that has resulted in a form of amnesia. This is what life is like for Clive Wearing, after he contracted a brutal virus in 1985 that destroyed the part of his brain that retains memories. Released in 2011, Forever Today restores the sunny disposition and breezily melodic attitude of their debut record, with only an occasional cloud looming overhead, but also a deeper emotional context and impact. In researching the story, the on line videos show the same compassion, commitment and love written in the book. 2 392. I do feel Deborah was a very courageous young women and very committed.
I don’t usually read women’s fiction, but I found myself falling in love with their story and I couldn’t put it down. Most of the book is her repeating how she feels and what the situation is like rather than adding new information to drive the book forward. Amazingly loyal wife and neat story.A heart-breaker. Deborah Wearing's journey through the medical world, the loneliness of being the care giver, the hope that comes from faith and ultimately..how strong love is made this book unforgettable.
Wearing did a fantastic job initially of describing in minute detail the horrible amnesia that afflicted her husband after an illness that was misdiagnosed as the flu at first. Clive Wearing a gifted musician just a year into his second marriage, contracts viral encephalitis - undiagnosed for some weeks.
Forever Today is a novel that follows Charlotte and Wyatt and what is more than a summer fling. I’m glad I read it.This memoir started out great but it got worse as it went on. Crazy, fascinatiI have been reading books about brain disorders and neurology lately, and the case of Clive Wearing came up a few times. Her compassion, commitment and love for her husband is quite evident.

I was so touched by this true story about a man who suffers from terrible amnesia after a virus, and the wife who loves him. All and all a great book that only fails to get 5 star review because of its receptiveness.
