This film shares the story of Cheryl Hauser, a Minnesota woman who, after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, chose to face the end of her life on her own terms through VSED (Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking). At seventy-six, Cheryl became a thoughtful and courageous voice for end-of-life autonomy, helping spark important conversations about Alzheimer’s, caregiving, and the right to make deeply personal medical decisions.
