After her husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, award-winning writer Amy Bloom faced an unimaginable choice. Her latest nonfiction “In Love: A Memoir of Love and Loss”, is a powerful book that probes the unvarnished reality into Alzheimer’s. 

In Part 2 of our interview with author Amy Bloom, host, Meryl Comer, discusses the very personal decision to honor her husband, Brian Amici’s decision to end his life. As Amy experienced there are no options available for Alzheimer’s patients in the United States without risks and legal ramifications. Their decision to go to Switzerland was the only option.
