VSED to Avoid Late-Stage Dementia - "Herself to the End" Book

In response to a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, Joan Cenedella, a courageous local woman, chose to end her life by voluntarily stopping eating and drinking (VSED) rather than slowly lose herself to the disease. Her partner, Fran Volkmann, and a small group of close friends, have written a 156-page book, Herself to the End, about Joan’s journey and about the VSED process. 

Fran will be joined by co-author Carol Edelstein to present Joan’s and their experience and to read from the book. There will be ample time for questions and discussion. This event will also be livestreamed and the recording will be available to view afterward.
