Scenario

When family members have different comfort levels with assisted dying

Our mother chose physician-assisted death and while my brother and I both support her decision, we're dealing with very different feelings about being present for it, and I think we're both afraid to tell each other what we really need.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Siblings are navigating the complexity of supporting someone's autonomous choice to die while honoring their own vastly different emotional needs around witnessing that choice.
