Hello,
Some of you know me. My late husband, Brian was Dx’d on 6/30/2016 and passed on 3/13/2019. He had limb onset ALS and we were fortunate to have some good time during our last years together and for him to be able to remain at home.
Brian was a strong supporter of Physician Aid in Dying. Being in Minnesota, that was not an option for us and he did entertain the idea of doing that outside. of the U.S., but in the end chose VSED (to stop eating and drinking).
On May 11th, I will be part of a Webinar for Compassion and Choices, an organization that supports and advocates for laws permitting Physician Aid in Dying, such as is currently available for residents of Organ, California, and numerous other states. If you would like information on this webinar, which will be held at 7:00 PM U.S. Central time please send me a private message.
The information contains a donation button and is thus not permitted to be posted on this site, and I would like to send it any case only to those who are interested.
I think the webinar holds value far beyond just considering this option for yourself or supporting your loved ones in their choices. Ultimately it is about the right of each of us to chose a peaceful and dignified end to our lives, however we envision that.
My apologies if this offends, I understand that this is a controversial issue. I myself did not begin as a supporter. Please consider joining the webinar if you would like a glimpse into how and why my views changed.
