Last Things: A Graphic Memoir of Loss and Love

by
A heart-breaking story of how Marissa Moss and her family cope with her husband’s diagnosis of ALS. The devastating power of this illness is felt by her and her family. She is torn between caring for her husband, looking after his needs and that of her children.
Using her story telling skills and art, Moss builds this memoir to describe not only what her husband was going through but the turmoil she faces. The story she tells is honest, sad, powerful and intimate. She brings out the raw truth and doesn’t portray herself to be noble. This book is not about illness bringing the family closer but about the distance it creates and the lives it shatters when it pulls away everything from under their feet. Moss describes the daily life of her family coping with their world being torn apart.
Her story touched me and I highly recommend this!
