Alan and Joanne marry in midlife and live a happily-ever-after existence until, at sixty-nine, Alan is diagnosed with a rare, fatal, neurodegenerative illness. As he becomes increasingly disabled, he decides he wants to end his suffering using Colorado’s Medical Aid in Dying law. Walking Him Home is Joanne’s tale of coming to terms with her husband’s illness, navigating the healthcare system, and choosing to help him in his quest to die with dignity.
