A Mother's Warning on Assisted Dying After Son's Death in Switzerland 

the mention of eating well was more about the stomach issues and his mysterious weight loss...

@@akpokemon this isn't directed at you as I know you're simply pointing out the context of what she said but I have many issues with digestion and pain due to crohn's disease and severe endometriosis but just so others know, you can be in severe pain and experience debilitating stomach issues and still eat. Especially someone who is depressed and lonely and fighting a daily battle, sometimes food is a form of escape. It isn't uncommon for those who are struggling to even become emotional eaters and binge eat, even if it causes them physical pain

Is Depression counted as serious illness? I know that J.L. Godard had an assisted suicide without having been terminally ill.

@@kathrin5721 it is possible to get assisted suicide if you are suffering from depression but it is very complicated. Your psychiatrist has to confirm that there are no more options of treatment, that you are unbearable suffering and your wish to die is NOT a symptom of your depression. It is very rare for a depressed person to be granted assisted suicide in Switzerland.

That is just an assumption. He was a lovely man who had a loving family. Regardless of what people may think of them, he was very loved and they are affected by him going missing and finding out he was dead. They didn't have a chance to say goodbye before he was cremated. In fact they don't know the ashes they cremated are his. How can that be peaceful? I tend to think that if he was wanting to spare them pain, then he obviously wasn't thinking rationally because he would have left his family information to find him.

I was an extreme deep despair in the 70s with a cute chronic panic and anxiety and severe depression suicidal also I worked through it but back then they helped you work through it and gave you medicine to take while you were working through it and I thank God he gave me my life back

That's why I know it can be worked through

I'm so very sorry for your loss

@@Granny53 What a powerful story you have. It's so important people hear stories like yours. Hope is the most powerful medicine. If a person doesn't have it themselves, its so important we carry it for them until they can find it for themselves. It doesn't mean we minimise their pain or minimise how difficult it is to live with that suffering. Its horrible and painful and sometimes people need to lean on us to get through it. I am happy to do that for people because others did it for me and I am still here. Sometimes I still have my moments however its nothing like it was. There really is help out there. Sometimes the hardest part is asking for it.

@lindaclifton2460. Hi there Linda, I fully agree and support your decision. I am also facing the same , although not MS (mine being a rare form of cancer diagnosed three years ago) I didn’t wish to undergo surgery and have just come to terms with the fact that I’ll just take each day as it comes. I also made enquires with the organisation and my doctor (and family) are fully aware of the choice I have made and will support me. To date I have not signed any paper work. Sending wishes your way. 🤗🇳🇿

🌷❤️

It was not at all the same situation.

I totally appreciate and respect your decision. We will put our pets to sleep when they are seriously poorly to relieve their pain so why can’t we have the choice in our own countries for our own lives.

​@@shannoncole6415 How long should I wait for God to heal me ?

I think its tempting to romanticize how he took his life. He had a history of mental health problems and was clearly ashamed of how his life had turned out so far. Is that a reason to help someone to end their life? Poor him, not having a wife and family or a home, so lets help him die?

@@lulunz6809 Having been involved with mental health issues, this society is blind. The family stated he felt “low”. To me, that statement describes a culture of “oh you will get better”. “Buck up.” “You’ll get through this” This is an attitude that does not help a person nor validate what he is feeling. Hence my statement, he didn’t feel heard. We don’t know what avenues he took to find help, only his family’s viewpoint.

@@thelittlewitch253 Well I definitely didn't say that. I have lived experience and have worked with many many other survivors who also have lost loved ones to suicide and I can say that through my experience and their's that we all were grateful we survived. It did take time however it did happen. Many of us got support through mental health services and counselling etc. That was despite there not being a great understanding until more recent years. I think its important not to place blame on the family or the people who tried to help him. He did what he did and they couldn't stop him. I think its important not to romanticize what he did by justifying his choice. And suggesting he did it to save them pain is very wrong. He caused them so much pain because he didn't tell them where he was going. He was missing and that was very unfair. He obviously wasn't thinking clearly or he wouldn't have chosen that decision.

Sorry for your loss and thanks for your informed reasoned and level response.

We should be able to say if we want to end our lives . No one absolutely no one has the right to tell some one else how much they have to endure. My son has been suicidal I have said to him that it is his choice in the end. Please don’t do it in a messy way where you may suffer further. I have told him if it ever got to that point it would be better to plan it via an assisted death organisation. Obviously my hope and prayers would be this process where he cd be open would provide a window of opportunity of support to avoid ending life. I am so very sorry that you went through the loss of your son but I so agree with your comments sadly borne from the wisdom that comes from experience

I am very sorry. And I agree with you as when we love someone we don't want them to suffer and need, as difficult it is, to respect their choices or lack of choices, sometimes.

I agree. I almost think that those opposing assisted dying are advocating for painful, lonely deaths of people that have no hope. It is better to die with dignity than in secret and in pain and leaving a scene that is shocking and traumatic to those who find it.

@@whitneyanders5945well said. I agree with you 100%.

I agree. Her saying don’t talk like that to her son. He did not know how to tell her he was so distressed

There's never a good reason for suicide....jesus is the hope for the hopeless

There are often good reasons. You lack empathy and don't seem to realise that not many people in the UK believe in gods anymore. The crux of this debate is each to their own, his life, his choice, so wind it back in.

@@gelbsucht947 I'm sorry it can be a horrible pain to bare....suffering is inevitable in life and can be terrible cross to carry when you feel alone.

He didn't have right over life and death. He isn't God. Your life is not your own, your body is not your own. It's on loan from God. To see if you will be faithful in small matters. If you cannot be faithful over little how can I set you over much? If you cannot be faithful over what is not your own, how can I set you over what is your own? -God

You go ahead and believe what you want but those beliefs don't to apply others. If you believe this then don't go for health care, don't get treatment for terminal disease because clearly your disease has been given to you by God. Pass your life to God if you want while other people can make other choices.

Would you be so tolerant if a close member of your family took this path? Somehow I doubt it.

I agree with you I really feel for the mum but as she said at least she didn't have to identify his body. It's sounds like he had already made his mind up. Unfortunately people will always commit suicide but at least this is the best option out of an impossible situation.

​@@christee9590 Suicides do happened regardless the clinics. Would you rather the men to hung himself in a forest? Or jump under a train? At least he died in dignity and didn't cause any traumatic experience to random people who'll be unfortunate to find his body. Mental health is real problem and people do suffer.

Not that case. The family was left in the dark by the clinic. If the staff really think they helped his dignity they should have just come forward in email or call. His mom is criticizing the clinic protocols but pls understand the rest was her grieving since she wanted to see his body. Not the ashes two months later.

@@ssuwandi3240 The problem with inforing his family is, he has to agree to it. Although I agree that his death should have been reported straight to British authorities and they would inform the family.

Yeah that's right. I don't think the family had any idea of his emotional and mental pain.

Some know It and don't care.

Those closest to us in general, are sometimes less likely to immediately notice anything wrong. Even if we're exhibiting all the signs under the sun. Sometimes they're more likely to react with frustration, or dismiss the signs as "a phase".

I don't actually know but one would guess if the clinic thought it was more of a depression they wouldn't have let him go through it.

No one knows what he was going through except him and he made that decision with love for himself.

@@samjohns3227 You do not know that at all. He could have believed her deserved to die which is very common with depression. He may well have believed he was a burden and it was better for everyone if he just went away and died. Depression is also like that. People can have an overwhelming amount of shame for existing. So he likely died from that. Not in the romantic way you are suggesting it happened. Surely you can see that there is no way of knowing except for what seems like a very secretive situation involving a lot of profit for a company who didn't have the decency to let anyone know in Britain.

The man just thinking about himself also. He decided that his suffering was more important than his mother's and family.

​@shomshomni2314 it's not a freaking competition of who is suffering the most, it's about a human being"s right to die with dignity. No one living in excruciating pain should be forced to live that way just to please their family.

@@barbarajimenez6312 It's still a very selfish thing to do. His family were not suffering before but now they are. He caused that. I often hear stories of the other family member committing suicide as a result.

God gives U Mercy

Amen 🙏

Do you not have palliative care where people can die at home in your country?

@@lulunz6809 Yes and no. depends on your living situation. Some pain will not always be relieved with drugs.

@@organicwest Well we can't guarantee that euthanasia is painless for the person either. It does appear to be painless however. There are so many options when it comes to anxiety relief and pain relief. Pain isn't a given when it comes to dying naturally from illness or age. I have seen many deaths now. Some of those conditions were considered the most painful to experience. One person in particular refused any opiates up until the time that he had hours left and even then he wasn't in pain. He was scared so I reassured him. It isn't all love and light when someone is imminently dying however neither is childbirth. The perception of pain by onlookers is what needs to be educated more.

@@lulunz6809 When my aunt is telling me that she is in pain, it is not my lack of perception of pain. My uncle just fell asleep. I do not need to be educated about pain.

@@organicwest Yes that is good she can tell you. Were you able to give her something for that? I am so pleased you were able to be there for her. I can 100% say that some people cannot cope with knowing their loved one is dying and seeing the process happening. Its why its so important we teach people about the final stages of dying and the ways they can help their loved one including in home pain medications which can be given by patches, slow release pump, subcutaneous injections which are easy to give and how to wet their mouths. Hospice will have nurses and support people pop in especially for giving medication. I have seen one side of my family absolutely not cope with seeing my uncle dying. He was in no pain but they struggled because they thought he was and thought he would be embarrassed to see himself like that. They also got frustrated at how long it took. I ended up taking over supporting him because they wanted to go back to work etc. What he needed was their reassurance and love. He did tell me he was scared. So I reassured him and we did give him something to help him relax. He wasn't in any pain. I felt so sad that the people he loved the most, couldn't be there. So I was. I am sure people choose euthanasia because they are scared of dying in pain or without dignity. It doesn't have to be that way at all. They are scared because there hasn't been good education about dying and the process. They also don't want to be an inconvenience. That is horrendous that people are ending their lives prematurely when they don't have to.

I would agree. A massive disconnect going on here

I agree as well. Mental illness and depression are so misunderstood by people other than the person who is suffering. He believed his life on earth was unbearable and he was going somewhere that there would be peace and no more suffering. Someone dropped the ball here and didn’t get him the help he needed

The point is depression is a "state of mind" which can change...and mental health can make u do things u wouldn't normally hence why it's wrong...he may have changed his mind ffs

@@tashaax1993xanimalloverx he wouldn't have ended his life after 6 weeks of depression. This was likely a decades long issue. As it is for most people. He had the right to end that. If a person with depression is depressed for 75% of their life, its a valid choice to give up that 25% of normalcy to end the 75% of pain.

​@@white_clover767How do you know this? How are you rationalising these bold statements? Are you speaking from experience or not? Either way you are in no position to judge if a particular depressed person's life is worth living. You don't know what was going on in this man's mind, none of us do. My guess is that he had more than depression, as his actions were extreme (and selfish), but sadly he did not get the psychological, psychiatric help that he needed. Shame that there is still a huge stigma with mental illness. No mother wants to see their child sectioned but it would have saved his life and his treatment would have been reviewed.

She is a victim as well.

That's a bit harsh. It is not the mother's fault that the son did not speak out. Don't blame anyone for the sin of another. You have clearly not been a mother. It is devastating and absolutely spiteful to leave people in hurting agony and pain because of your selfishness because you did or have God the Almighty in your life. You let the devil prevail. Instead we choose tablets, alcohol, drugs and anti depressants to fix us. Dr's are always prescribing meds that have side effects and dire consequences. God is love. Seek God First in everything.

Or maybe he did not want to hurt her in life.

It sounds like you are projecting.

@@ssuwandi3240 Please don't diminish Alister Hamilton's feelings. Telling a depressed person he's so much better off than someone with a prosthetic or terminal cancer is not going to change his mind or mood, but he will recognize that you, too, are not going to validate his feelings or offer any meaningful support.

U don't believe a sick man when he says he has nothing to look forward to. He took that thought seriously. He was vulnerable and clearly wasn't in his right mind....

@@Litigator-4-life Apparently he was also in a lot of pain. I've reached the stage of my life (60s) where my osteoarthritis continues to worsen, I cannot take medication for it due to their propensity to cause stomach ulcers, I also cannot take pain killers as I am extremely allergic. Seeing my quality of life reducing significantly, plus the extensive knowledge gleaned from decades of having worked in the health care sector (senior practitioner), is enough for me to know how I do NOT want my life to end. I want to go when I decide, with dignity, peace of mind. Not writhing in agony in a hospital bed or nursing home bed stewing in my own body fluids. No one deserves to tell/dictate to another how they should live, or end, their life.

Insulting for you to assume you know more about how this man was feeling than the man himself. He wanted to die and did it with dignity. You have no right to assume that he could just get over it and that he ‘wasn’t in his right mind’.

Would been pick up in autopsy

He caused them suffering and grief by going missing and not telling them where he was. That was incredibly self focused. In saying that he was mentally unwell obviously and most likely could only think that way which is why they should never have done it.

@@mummylilbear6088was there one performed?

My dad died like that. Was holding on whilst we were in the room. We told him it was ok to let go and left the room and when we came back he was gone.

Been their worse depression thank God for helping me get help

A violent death wasn't inevitable in his case. People who are suicidal do change their minds and often survivors of suicide attempts are relieved it didn't work. His living situation could have changed and he could have fallen in love. While people seem to be supportive of his choice to end it all by getting help in Switzerland, they need to remember that there is suicide contagion that can happen so mental health services and public health put a lot of effort into making sure family and friends get a lot of support because it can lead to more deaths. Nobody lives completely alone. Our life and death affect other people. So while this may have been a "tidier" option, his family are traumatised. The adults can describe it and support each other. Maybe even reach out for help however does he have nephews, nieces, his pupils? His work colleagues. His death would have affected others. People need to recognise the choices we make can ruin someone else's life or our life can contribute to others enjoyment of life. His poor family. At least they are being supported.

🎯 They did not walk in his shoes. Nor did he need the permission of his family, however saddened they may be. He gave plenty of clues as to his reasons.

@@wintercame Having low mood, living at home with his parents, being physically unwell and being in the process of finding the cause. Not having a wife and family. He needed therapy not an assisted death. It sounded more like he felt so ashamed that he decided to go away and die alone. Depression alters your thinking. That was not a dignified death.

@@lulunz6809You are not walking in his shoes. You are walking in your shoes. Therapy does not always change what afflicts. Death does.

@@wintercame Its a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

@@lulunz6809That's just a trope. For him it was as long as his life went on. He put a period on it.

I think he knew if he discussed it with his family his mother would certainly lay a huge guilt trip on him.

Actually if you're suicidal you're not in a sound mind. There's a difference in somebody who's terminally ill and facing a terrible death versus one that's quicker and cleaner and somebody who's depressed wanting to end their life. Psychologically if you're suicidal you are not of sound mind. Typically depression wants treated erases the suicidal impulses. And even the rare cases where it's intractable doesn't make it automatically sound thinking.

@@jessicaolson490 "Actually if you're suicidal you're not in a sound mind" Who's to say and on what grounds? The audacity on you people.

Sadly, true. But they are not at Liberty to disclose this information.

Yes there's something about this story that doesn't make sense.

Sorry but that's incorrect you do not have to have a terminal illness to end your life by euthanasia in Switzerland. Many ppl who suffered from depression go there to end their lives.

Maybe if he felt more comfortable around them he could have expressed his feelings easier and they could have joined him for his final journey. It’s selfish to expect loved ones to keep living when they are in pain and ready to go.

And choices

That is selfish. Now his loved ones sit with the pain and loss.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Colon cancer likely.

I'm really sorry for your loss firstly. Your poor mum! Secondly I do understand this man. It's awful, but I understand how hopeless it can be. I'm currently going through a similar thing. I have been in misery for about 7 years. I'm a lady, who can't work, has to live with my family, and cannot get a diagnosis, or find anything to help. It's frustrating going to appointments, being told what it isn't, but not being able to find an answer as to what's causing your misery. It can be a very dark place, when you truly feel like there's no way out :(

@@ssuwandi3240 "Colon cancer likely." Cancer, even the most indolent (non-aggressive) colon cancer, doesn't plague you for decades, so I'd have to disagree with you there.

Yes, dr.poras. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

Shame on them. Mental illness can cause people to think irrationally. I know so many survivors who are so pleased their attempts didn't work and they went on to live good lives. Many furthered their education and got great jobs as well as had children. The recovery rate for mental health disorders is good. While it doesn't feel like it at the time, people recover.

So if he went there and said he didn't feel physically well and was sick of it, would that be a good enough reason to assist someone to die? If someone said they are embarrassed because they are 47 and weren't married and didn't have children, would that be enough of a reason? If someone said they were back home living with their parents and they felt disappointed and wanted to die, is that enough of a reason? Many of those things are disappointments in life however can be overcome. I fail to see how there was an ethical decision there.

He obviously wasn't in a sound mind and was vulnerable.....its not just one person that dies its now multiple people that have loved him have to suffer mental health problems as well.

@@mariamoments478 Give it a rest. You'd rather that person remain and suffer physically, psychologically and emotionally so that others can feel more comfortable.. speaks volumes.

@@natnat8393 Yes, it really is a tragedy. But you can see his mother could never agree to it and would have tried to get him sectioned.

Yes because he was clearly mentally ill. We try to get mentally ill people help to recover, we don't write them off, give up on them. We try to get them help, we don't usually help them travel to a DEATH CLINIC and give them our blessings - not normal behaviour. Anyone normal, any mother or father, would try to stop a child of theirs going to a death 'suicide' clinic.

@christee9590 You clearly don't know anything about how people are treated who enter the mental health system. To be sectioned is worse than a prison sentence and this mother would rather have seen that. They are not places where "recovery" has any possibility.

Yes indeed so too I feel of. Course albeit alas too.

Absolutely not! There is always a way out.

Not when it's terminal ,silly comment.

Definitely not, people would take their lives with something as little as a headache. Just as no one determined their time of birth, or the family they were born into, no one should end their life or be assisted to end it. Life is precious and problems are inevitable but temporary!

Of course not. There are always more worthy choices than playing God. It took 6 days to create humanity. Meaning that Life is never about a race with his siblings or anyone's made up belief opinion / standard. Period.

Let's not romanticise suicide. People shouldn't be judged for ending their suffering but they shouldn't be praised either -can we use more neutral less loaded language?

None of this was about bravery. It was rather a crying for help that nobody cared harder just don't tell it to mum. I always write this kind of thought since 7 yo or so and leave the note somewhere. My mum found one of these, said nothing but since that day she' becomes kinder. She knew my little secrets. When I was older I left the notes inside the temple or churches. Well am still here living thru the rhythm. It would have been good if he knew some techniques to try

Thank you for sharing your view. I agree wholeheartedly. There is such a societal focus on keeping people alive at any cost - the individual really has no say in the matter. They should have.

Exactly!!!

I think it’s good that they are telling people about this because it should never be allowed in this country unless people have a terminal illness.

@@jujutrini8412 what about chronic pain patients that are never going to get better?? Who are they wanting to live for, it's not fair that people have to wake up every day in agony

@@shennel7304 Your right ,its NOT fair on people that need the service these companies offer ,and Swiss law does allow this type of Assisted suicide . However .....every case is individual Im all for assisted suicide ,personally I hope its a choice I never have to make ,but there ARE concerns in this mans case . Quite honestly ,we are not given enough information here ,and the information given from the family, through no fault of their own ,is one sided. Perhaps he hid his true mental health issues from them. That wouldnt be uncommon . I dont believe either ,he was just feeling low. But I do believe ,that someone with severe mental health issues ,can reach a point where they CANT make a rational choice for themselves. We dont know if this poor man fell into that category. Im tempted to say I hope so ,but only to make this ....sadness ,better for him . Terminal illness and chronic pain are NOT the issues this guy faced . He may or may not have been seriously mentally ill. The sheer torment of someone who wants to end their life ,though nothing terminal or in pain is wrong with them .Thats actually the question here ,but by reading the comments ,you really wouldnt think so

@@shennel7304 I think chronic debilitating pain should be included if there's literally no hope or way to cure it

Agree . It’s other peoples deep seated fear of facing up to the fact sometimes suffering in life is not endurable for some people .. usually intractable progressive illness and or mental health conditions . Physically disabled people who are otherwise fit and well often don’t get this ! it seems as they are not living with long term progressive medical conditions they think they are being attacked if euthanasia is legal. So they try to stop those who are suffering beyond what they can endure from having control and an exit plan . Just my personal opinion not formed lightly.

@@Sam___Smith Keep your ideology to yourself, not everyone shares in the nonsense.

@@Dobviews you could keep your ideologies to yourself as well, not everyone shares in the nonsense either, but you said what you said and I said what I said!

@@Dobviews Please keep your opinion to yourself. Not everyone appreciates your naive perspective.

@@oyamawapiti Is that supposed to silence me or something. As for your opinion, I would have to value it first... *I don't.*

Antidepressants are fantastic for clinical depression.........u wd be amazed how positive people feel and balanced from taking them

Well said ❤

@mariamoments478 they definitely helped me. They took away my giddy highs which I miss, but no longer feeling paralyzingly depressed is a life saver.

ABSOLUTELY AGREE ❤❤❤❤

Could you consider leaving letters to those who you love with an explanation. The whys will be unbearable for those left behind. Having said this I am deeply sorry you are in a place where you cannot face the future.
