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.
