Now available: The Many Faces of MAID: What to Expect When Someone You Know Chooses Medical Assistance in Dying
The Many Faces of MAID is a compilation of stories from 17 people who have direct experience of their loved one choosing a medically assisted death. These stories facilitate real, emotional connections to the raw and uncensored experiences of the storytellers, and encompass a wide range of emotions, from easy to difficult and from expected to unexpected. The perspectives the storytellers offer are not complete accounts of their experiences. Rather, they are small glimpses into some of the intimate moments and emotions they’ve felt moved to share with others.
If you’ve read the book, we would appreciate your feedback on this short survey.
