The author writes:
This book was first published
in l978, but it is as pertinent
and helpful today as then. It tells the story of my wife, who
took her life towards the end of
a long and tough struggle against breast cancer. She decided when she'd had enough of suffering and at her request I brought her a lethal dose, which she drank, said a quick 'Goodbye' and died.
This book is helpful to people
unused to the idea of assisted
death, particularly of a spouse.
