Ann Bruce, my aunt and my friend, died in Switzerland on 26 June 2021 at the age of 73. But they’d had a good deal of suffering in the run-up, and suffering that couldn’t be completely managed.”Ann wanted her death to be different. Assisted death is legal in Switzerland, as well as in several other countries including Canada, the Netherlands and Belgium. On the morning of her death, Ann is calm and serene. “What, plodding on until it gets me?” She would never have regretted her decision to end her life.
