We ask the Government to give anyone with a terminal illness fast-track access to financial support. This would stop people worrying about money and it would help them to focus on spending time with their family. This only happens if you have 12 months or less which penalises those who live longer

I honor Ellen Gilland, who was gentle and kind.

But the gun felt too heavy, and she couldn't go through with it.
Though death is a path we must eventually tread
