We updated our Living to the End site yesterday with three new videos of Lovelle. She talks about her life as a smoker, finding peaceful moments and two memories that affect her thoughts about hastening her death.

I met with her yesterday after she picked up the prescription of lethal liquid. We sat in a park and talked about life, hers and mine. In middle of it, I could not help thinking how lucky I am. Somehow it is different to talk to people that are about to die. Even “everyday” conversations seem epic. It’s like if everyone has a bank of words they get to use, the ones at the end are worth more.
