Roy's story


Listen Later

Content Warning - this content discusses suicide and self-harm.

Join Roy as he openly shares his story, talking through his journey with motor neurone disease, feelings that his life was disposable and would lead him to take his own life, to his VAD experience after raising this with his health care team. Roy generously explains his new lease on life after being found eligible for voluntary assisted dying and what this has meant for him in his exploration of faith and the value of listening to his own gut, instinct and intuition in determining what choices are right for him.
