Imperfect Endings: A Daughter's Tale of Life and Death

English | 2010 | ISBN: 1439148244 | PDF | 272 Pages | 6,4 MB

Wrenching, provocative, and surprisingly funny: After twenty years of living with terminal illness, Zoe's mother decided to end her life-and asked her three daughters for their assistance. For months, the decision drags on as her mother changes her methods and schedule, and the negotiations stir up old memories, sibling rivalries, and questions about family loyalty. Eventually there is compromise and courage and Zoe's mother has her happy - if imperfect - ending..

A controversial subject-assisted suicide: Zoe and her sisters struggle to accept the imminent death of their mother, circling around the same questions: Who will help her? Will they go to jail? Can they bear to let her die alone? With a doctor prescribing lethal doses of sleep medication, a visit from a member of the Hemlock Society's "Final Exit Network," and the temptations of overdosing on morphine, the issues and people in Imperfect Endings are at the center of the debate on assisted suicide. .

An award-winning new voice: An acclaimed journalist, Zoe won first place in the 2008 Pacific Northwest Writers' Association literary contest and was a finalist at the San Francisco Writer's Conference for Imperfect Endings.
