What Really Matters: Everyday Spirituality

Ep. 177 Grieving the Chosen Goodbye

Listen Later

This episode is a companion to two previous EOLU Podcast episodes and a Substack post on Medical Aid in Dying. Here I share the story of a colleague with ALS who wanted to use MAID and my thoughts about grief after a chosen death. This episode includes:

  • Obstacles faced by many who want to use MAID
  • Ambiguous grief after death by MAID
  • Grief when the ending feels unfinished
  • Remembering not to postpone saying goodbye
