Description

Die Smiling: A Searingly Honest Tale of Love, Life and Death Julie Casson's memoir is a rare and intimate account of one man's journey to Dignitas in Zurich, a story of love, courage and the human spirit. Her husband's diagnosis with motor neurone disease is a stark reminder of the cruel symptoms of this debilitating condition. With boundless courage and gritty good humour, he battles the disease, but ultimately decides to take control of his own destiny. The Casson family's journey to Dignitas is a logistical and emotional challenge, but one they complete with pragmatism and humour. This is a thought-provoking and deeply moving book that raises questions about the right to put an end to suffering and the right to choose how life should end. It is a frank and loving memoir that explains the reality of MND's cruel symptoms and the experience of going to Dignitas. This book is a powerful exploration of the complexities of life, death and dignity, and is a timely contribution to the debate on assisted dying.
