The latest update [View all]

Today Mrs. Jackalope spoke with her home nurse and palliative care doctor, and initiated a request for what's known in Canada as MAiD: Medical Assistance in Dying. She meets all the criteria, and it will happen within a couple of weeks.

She said last night that she's done, the suffering is now too deep to endure any more, with nothing to look forward to except raw survival - life without living. Oddly enough, the one aspect of suffering that is not an issue for her is the one people fear most - pain. Everything else sucks, though.

Neither she nor I are that attached to life, it would appear. As always I completely support her wishes, and am in awe of her courage and clarity. Thank God we live in 21st century Canada, with access to legal medical marijuana and legal medical suicide.

I love her so much.
