Description
Time to Go is a poignant and thought-provoking account of one mother's quest for control over her own life. When Susie Kennaway, 88 years old, asked her son Guy to help her end her life, he began taking notes, leading to this remarkable book.
The story is both a personal exploration of the complexities of their relationship and a broader examination of the challenges faced by elderly people seeking autonomy over their own deaths. As Susie and Guy navigate the moral, legal, emotional, intellectual, and practical aspects of assisted dying, they find an unexpected bond in their conversations.
This book is a rallying call for those fighting for the rights of older generations to make choices about their own lives, free from interference from institutions that often stand in the way. A powerful exploration of what it means to live life on one's own terms, Time to Go is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in end-of-life care and the human experience.
