Saturday Stories: Special End Of Life Edition

Have an hour and bit this weekend? Spend it listening to the podcast Sickboy who interviewed friend and one of our office's former RD's, 37 year old Candace Reid, whose husband Layton (whose brilliant letter to his metastases I published as a guest post on this blog last September) died this January, on life Newly Widowed.

Carol Cowan-Levine in The Walrus on the failure of Canada's healthcare system and the death of her daughter by suicide.

Catherine Porter in The New York Times on the living wake and medically assisted death of John Shields.
