What You Need to Know About VSED

  1. What You Need to Know About VSED Helen Bauer BSN RN CHPN 50:26

When Kate Christie’s mom chose to utilize VSED at the end of her life, Kate became a caregiver and advocate, never losing sight of role as a daughter. Kate’s mom faced a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and made the choice to use VSED (Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking). Kate stayed by her mom’s side through the Dying process and death, experiencing all the facets of being a VSED caregiver. Now Kate’s sharing her story and advocating for caregivers and anyone with a serious illness who chooses VSED.  Her book The VSED Handbook is a guide and resource for anyone needing information about Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking.  VSED is an end-of-life option specifically for terminally and seriously ill people that is legal in every state in the U.S. You can learn more at vsedresources.com
