“I watched my life as if it were happening to someone else. My son died. And I was hurt, but I watched my hurt, and even relished it, a little, for now I could write a real death, a true loss.

“Even then, more than a year earlier, there were neurons in her head, not far from her ears, that were being strangled to death, too quietly for her to hear them. Some would argue that things were going so insiduously wrong that the neurons themselves initiated events that would lead to their own destruction. Whether it was molecular murder or cellular suicide, they were unable to warn her of what was happening before they died.” YearsEventsHappeningsDestructionEarsMurderDiedSuicideArguingNeuronsCellular Book:Lisa Genova Box Set: Still Alice and Left Neglected Source: Lisa Genova Box Set: Still Alice and Left Neglected
