Amy Bloom: Love, Loss, and the Choice to Let Go

On this week’s episode, we’re joined by American writer and psychotherapist Amy Bloom, who shares the extraordinary story behind her memoir In Love — a tender, raw, and deeply honest account of her husband Brian’s decision to end his life at Dignitas after being diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s.

Together, we explore love later in life, why mean never changes, what it really means to choose someone — faults and all — and how grief can sharpen your perspective and strip the petty right out of you.

Whether you’ve faced loss or just wondered how you might handle it, this one lingers.

And yes, we do also cover sequinned birthday cards, football-playing princes, and why “companion” is not a synonym for love.
