"Software developer Pieter Hintjens has been diagnosed with terminal cancer at the age of 53. He will be opting to end his own suffering through euthanasia, which has been legal in Belgium since 2002. He has three children, aged twelve, nine and five. In a final article on his website, he has outlined a protocol for dying, including these thoughts on how to have a conversation with someone you know is going to die."
How to have a great conversation with someone who is going to die | Life and style | The Guardian:
You have come to the right place, and we are glad you are here. This is a safe place to share stories of love and loss, devastating grief, exhausting care-giving, memorials, advanced directives, mourning, hope, and despair. We want to hear about about what you wish you had known or done differently, what you wish those around you had known or done differently, and what went right. We will never tell you to move on or find closure. "What cannot be said will be wept." Sappho
