Sharing Your Story
Connecting with others who had lived through similar loss was one of the most meaningful parts of my own grief. Not because it brought answers or resolution—but because it reduced the isolation. It helped to sit in a shared reality where nothing had to be explained or defended.
​
This space exists for that reason.
​Who this is for
​
This form is for anyone impacted by MAiD or assisted dying—including family members, loved ones, and healthcare providers who are carrying personal, professional, or ethical distress related to these deaths. This may include providers who feel conflicted, harmed, or affected by outcomes they did not expect or feel adequately supported through.
What this is
​
This is a private, consent-based way to share your experience in your own words. Stories may be shared anonymously or with attribution, and you choose whether your submission is for private review or potential public sharing.
Why people choose to share
​
People come to this space for different reasons. Some are looking for connection and validation. Some want their experience to be witnessed. Some are seeking a public avenue to contribute to awareness, advocacy, or systemic change. Others are simply trying to make sense of what they’ve lived through.
​
You do not need to know why you’re sharing in order to share.
When to share
​
There is no “right time.” You may share shortly after an experience, long after, or somewhere in between. You may also choose not to share at all. Timing is personal, and moving slowly is appropriate.
​
How this works
​
You will be asked how you would like your story handled and whether you are open to any future contact. Nothing will be shared without your explicit consent. You may skip questions, remain anonymous, or change your preferences later.
​
This is not a debate, a survey, or a requirement. It is a space designed with care, choice, and respect—for complexity, uncertainty, and truth.
​
Whatever your reason for being here, you are welcome.
