Review of Gleason (2016) by Janice B — 08 Jan 2017
As the wife of a man who was diagnosed with ALS in 2013 and passed away in March of 2014. The movie was a heart wrenching flashback to my life a few short years ago. It showed the stark reality of dealing with this terrible disease.
My husband was almost 84 when he passed away, and his first wife had died of the same disease just 10 years earlier, so he new what life would be like as the disease progressed. Bless his heart, he was a wonderful man and was an excellent patient.
He experienced frustration of course, but never took it out on others. People have not a clue as to how horrible this disease affects people. I miss him everyday, but am glad he did not suffer for years like Mr.
Gleason. I hope his wife and son will recover from this ordeal and lead a fulfilling life in the future.
