Topic	My wife passed away July 17th with utilizing MAID. Join my healing journey.
Jeff_AKA_Snoopy 08/04/23 2:09:17 AM #16:	DarkChozoGhost posted... Being a caregiver to a terminally ill family member is a huge part of my identity too, so I can relate to some of the basic feelings. But I can't even comprehend how much that's weighed on you, and still does. How much time did you spend talking with lawyers? Was that mostly to help get it to go through, or did she decide to use her story to help push MAID laws? I understand either choice, I'm just curious. MAID doesn't require lawyers or anything like that, so we didn't need to lawyer up. The law itself was kinda designed initially for Cancer patients and other medical conditions where death was "foreseeable". I think maybe in like May of 2022 that part of the law was changed so that your physical diagnoses did not HAVE to include something that had foreseeable death. If doctors agreed that what you were living through was sorta cruel and unusual. When we were initially denied in Saskatchewan, we could have tried to lawyer up for the right to die, but when we contacted Dying with Dignity they told us to try the doctor in BC first as she was known to really help out those with difficult cases. --- https://i.imgur.com/GWG5c3r.gif <cite>Jeff_AKA_Snoopy posted [p:975242113] in My wife pa...
