Here's what I want to say now...

Most of us have read about living and dying, Wayne and Jule have combined the two in a heart-filling tale of choosing death. Diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Wayne has chosen MAiD to enable a better, more fulfilling ending for a life of shared meaning and purpose for himself and his partner - Jule. Together, they explore their last years in making life better - together. Of course, there are tears, but they're tears of joy - not regrets. Life goes on for Jule. She misses Wayne and is grateful for the time she and her best friend shared together. In reading Shared Conversations - Glimpses Into Alzheimer's she's inviting you to participate.

Dr. Ron Posno B.A., M.Ed., Ed.D a person living with Dementia, is well recognized for his advocacy related to Dementia and Advance Requests for MAiD. Both Jule and Wayne have much appreciated his friendship and emotional support.
