"Is it time?"
“I don’t want them to suffer.”
“I feel guilty.”
“My (spouse, child, friend) says I am being cruel and selfish.”

Whether you are facing this decision now, soon, a long way off, or you have recently faced it, this one day workshop offers new perspectives that offer you support in navigating these challenges.
