About this listen

Eve’s mother, Marion, accessed voluntary assisted dying in 2023 after living with multiple chronic health conditions. Eve reflects on her mother’s resilience, selflessness, and determination to maintain control over her life despite significant challenges. She also describes the difficulties they encountered during the application process, delays in approval, and the emotional toll on their family. Ultimately, Eve recounts her mother’s peaceful final moments and how this experience has motivated her to advocate for improvements in voluntary assisted dying legislation.
