Join us for an engaging discussion of **Amy Bloom's "In Love: A Memoir of Love and Loss,"** a deeply moving exploration of love, dignity, and the complexities surrounding assisted dying. This memoir chronicles Bloom's journey with her husband, Brian, as they navigate the devastating realities of his Alzheimer's diagnosis and the heart-wrenching decision to end his life on his own terms at Dignitas in Zurich.

## Why You Should Read "In Love"

* **A Unique Perspective on Love and Loss**: Bloom’s narrative is not just about the sorrow of losing a loved one but also celebrates their vibrant relationship and the choices they make together in the face of terminal illness. The memoir invites readers to reflect on what it means to love someone deeply while facing their inevitable decline.

* **Thought-Provoking Themes**: The book addresses critical themes such as autonomy, dignity in death, and the emotional complexities of caregiving. It challenges readers to confront their own beliefs about life, death, and the choices we make for ourselves and those we love.
* **Rich Emotional Landscape**: Bloom's writing is characterized by her sharp wit and candid insights, making this memoir both heartbreaking and beautifully crafted. The alternating chapters provide a dual perspective that enriches the narrative, allowing readers to connect with both Bloom's experiences and Brian's thoughts
* Choice & Dignity's Tracy Corbin will facilitate our online discussion.
