About this episode

Hilary Russo and Erica Baccus discuss the complexities of dementia and end-of-life decisions in a heartfelt conversation.

Do you have the right to die? Hilary sits down with Erica Baccus, author of A Promise Kept , to share the intimate and complex story of her husband John's battle with dementia and the decision they made when faced with what she calls the "dementia catch-22." Together, they explore love, autonomy, caregiving, grief, and the ethical gray areas surrounding end-of-life choices. This is not a conversation about right or wrong, it's about understanding, compassion, and having the conversations most of us aren't prepared for… until the end of our lives is staring us in the face.
