Several years ago, in the summer of 2018, pre-Alzheimer’s but post-TIA (and post the beginnings of brain fog), Wendy and I went to Yellowstone National Park.
A good friend of mine facilitated his father’s transition through VSED this past July, out in Bozeman. He was recently featured on a well-done podcast that highlighted his feelings about the process and the process itself. Happy to text that podcast to you if you’re curious.
Give a call someday, when you’re up for it. My best to Wendy.
Oh Sean - you had me crying in the library. Thanks for shedding light on the very limited and aggressive options there are, none of which makes any one comfortable with, especially the disease-stricken. My grandmother lived with this disease for so long and watching her benjamin button back to a child in phases, (it started out funny and cute - she thought I was her daughter, to just heartbreaking) makes me appreciate every present moment. Thank you for sharing with us. All my love to you and Wendy.
Sean, Your blog is such a service to anyone with the altzheimers challenge and to those who care about them. So much information and beautiful thoughts. Thank you. Sue Carlson
That we can euthanize our pets but not our loved ones is societal norm that I do not understand. Once again, I am moved by your courage and determination to confront this full on. 💗🙏
Hi Sean, yow, the VSED story is chilling… my Mom & Dad’s friend travelled overseas after his diagnosis because the US options were so terrible. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/27/books/in-love-amy-bloom.html?unlocked_article_code=1.U04.H0qB.wliu48c_07Il&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
Hi Natalie, Great to hear from you! I have that book, actually. I'm just not quite ready to read it!
Hey, bud. God bless the good ol, US of A.

Hollis, Please do. And I will! Thanks! (We should hit another comedy show at the Wilbur soon!)
