Amanda is an advocate for the assisted dying bill - she says if her father-in-law was able to do it, he wouldn't have suffered like he did.
His painful, agonising pleas in those final few days have haunted us ever since It’s hard to imagine ever being in so much pain that you would beg your family to end your life. But in late 2023, that was very much the reality for my father-in-law Sean*. ‘Please. Kill me now!’ He said to his son one morning. Of course, there was nothing he or any of us could legally do. These ended up being the last words Sean ever said to him.
She couldn’t accept that he was dying, and so they hadn’t discussed anything about the end, but now I could. Sitting with the Marie Curie information booklet I asked if he had read to the end. He told me he had and he knew what was coming. And yet, he still had to endure another few weeks of unimaginable pain. Had he known then what was still to come and had it been a legal and viable option for us as a family, I feel confident in saying that Sean would have considered and even agreed to it.
