My husband known as Andrew from Chester Le street, sadly passed away last Tuesday 25 October. We had a very difficult journey to Zurich, but with the support of two of our sons, Andrew’s brother and my sister we made it. The day before Andrew died was lovely with lots of Andrew’s humour shining through. He maintained his dignity right to the end, controlled his passing the way he wanted to, with an amazing playlist and a huge amount of love in the room despite our sadness at loosing and amazing husband, dad, brother and brother-in- law. This disease is truly awful and was incredibly aggressive in Andrew’s case. In this modern age it is crazy that we had to travel overseas for Andrew to fulfil his wish to be in control of his death at the time he felt was right for him. I will miss him so so much but I am so proud of how he dealt with this illness and his decision to end his life, incredibly brave, no complaints, no feeling sorry for himself, always thinking of what it meant for me his wife, our boys and the rest of his close family and friends. An amazing man, he will always be with me.
