## Resource

A Labour MP shares a heartbreaking story of her mother Ruth, who died alone at 61 after a brutal battle with rare blood cancer — despite excellent palliative care, her pain was unbearable. Ruth had long wished for a dignified, peaceful death surrounded by loved ones, but current laws barred family presence at the end. The MP passionately advocates for the assisted dying bill, which narrowly failed in Parliament (270-286), leaving Ruth’s final wish unfulfilled. In her last letter, Ruth wrote she wished the law had passed during her lifetime. The MP remains undeterred, vowing to keep fighting for terminally ill patients’ right to choose how they die — and to say goodbye on their own terms.
