What is unconditional love? And how does life call you forward to express that unconditional love? Today's guest, Erica Baccus faced that very question as she kept her promise to help her partner of 41 years to end his life, with dignity when he found out he had Alzheimer’s dementia. Join us for this beautiful conversation. The story of love. And have your heart open to the power of love.

Erica Baccus was an English teacher. She is the founder of a high-tech marketing, advertising, and research company. Erica is a mom, a caregiver, a widow, and a lived-experience expert on end-of-life autonomy for dementia. Erica Baccus is making her publishing debut with her very personal and deeply touching memoir A Promise Kept: Honoring His Wishes, Embracing Our Love. Erica's newly released book celebrates her marriage and life with her husband, John. Their marriage was built on their commitment to each other, to their families and their friends. Together, Erica and John lived a life of adventure. Together they celebrated 41 years of marriage filled with romance, love, joy and pure unadulterated fun. They always said, “yes” to each other until the very end, including saying yes to John’s desire to not live with advanced stages of dementia. Erica Baccus hopes to bring awareness to the growing movement to support the Death with Dignity Act, allowing a person with terminal illness to decide when, where and how their death occurs. A Promise Kept: Honoring His Wishes, Embracing Our Love has already achieved remarkable success, hitting #1 on both Amazon’s Bestseller and New Release lists in the categories of Right-to-Die Law, Medical Law & Legislation, and Health Law.
