Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition
Lovanie lost her grandmother to euthanasia. Her story is similar to many of the stories that we receive. Watch and share Lovanie's story (Link).
Lovanie explains that her grandmothers death was really hard on her as she has also struggled with mental health in the past few years.
Lovanie fears that her grandmothers euthanasia death will encourage other family members to also die by euthanasia in the future.
Lovanie expresses that her grandmothers dignity would have been achieved by staying with her family and to realize how much her family loved and cared for her willingly, and not as a burden.
Lovanie asks, how do you explain to your kids?
Lovanie expresses that you can't remain strong all of the time. You need help for that. We need people around us. You need to learn to help others and be helped.
Lovanie explains that the euthanasia decision is significant because it ends everything. There is no, I made a bad mistake but I can keep living. Euthanasia robs us of hope and strength. Death does not need to be sudden or chemically induced.
The lesson for Lovanie is that there is always another road, there is always another way. Her grandmothers death is a puzzle for Lovanie who said: I don't think I will ever figure it out in this life.
