Inspire & inform

Storytelling connects people through shared experience. If you have supported a loved one on a journey with assisted dying, received a difficult diagnosis yourself, or have encountered barriers to accessing the end-of-life choice you want, we are here to listen.

Your personal story can inspire and inform other people who are navigating end-of-life issues and realities in Canada and help them take control of their dying process.

Forever together: Their last act of love

“This hasn’t been a scary decision; we’ve both very much been at peace since we learned of our approvals. I didn’t want to leave Terry behind, and he didn’t want to be alone, so this is very important to us.
