New VSED Book: Herself to the End by Fran Volkmann

In May, the Daily Hampshire Gazette in Northampton, Mass., published an article about a local woman’s new book, Herself to the End. Author Fran Volkmann decided to share the story of her late partner Joan Cenedella’s choice to hasten her death via VSED in order to spread awareness of VSED as a legal, valid end-of-life option. Herself to the End details Cenedella’s decision-making process with her partner, family, and friends as she sought a way to escape the late stages of Alzheimer’s, and offers advice and guidance for others seeking a similar path at the end of life.
