Michael,
My mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's when I was a young child. None of the medications which help so much now were available then. I spent my teen years as her carer, watching her lose her abilities and her dignity. It was terrible.

Thank you for allowing us to read your story. You were a courageous and loving man to allow your wife to end her suffering. I'm sorry that the law kept you from comforting one another when she departed.
