    254. The Dementia Catch-22 with guest Erica Baccus

    Join the conversation by letting us know what you think about the episode! Erica Baccus and her husband John were faced with the emotionally fraught decision of whether (and then how and when) to end John’s life when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Erica’s book A Promise Kept chronicles their love story and Erica’s promise to honor John’s wish to die with dignity. Death is a topic that our society doesn’t handle well; hopefully our discussion and Erica and John’s journey can help.
