Paul Wolfson was a bright, funny, sparky, unconventional psychiatrist living in South London with his second wife, Lore, and two young children. At the age of only 60 he was diagnosed with a rare form of early onset dementia. As a doctor, he knew the prognosis: he would lose the ability to speak and then to understand words, his character would change and eventually he would no longer be able to recognize his children. Lore and Paul talked together over his last six months - and she recorded those conversations. A airs those often upbeat and witty discussions. Lore talks to Jane about how you find meaning in such tragedy. Jenni McCartney from Samaritans鈥 Chair of Trustees also joins them.
