I will be the first to admit I couldn’t understand why anyone would oppose Assisted Dying… and then I became disabled and had it “offered” to me.
It’s not compassionate when there’s coercion.
It’s not dignified when it’s offered in lieu of care.

This time of year always makes me so grateful that I cut contact with my family and stood by that decision. I am so glad I'm not still dragging myself to an event where my family would outright insult me and throw a hiss fit if they could see my scars while blaring 5 TVs at once.

I have a new post up on Medium, and even though I wrote it in spring, this is a really good one for the holiday season, as so many of us have to reprocess old wounds and find a way through to January.
