On the show today, we’re going to be discussing a rather contentious, difficult topic, but it is one that Canada adopted. We’re going to be talking today about assisted suicide – and that’s when a person chooses their exit. How does the person’s decision affect their family? And how does their family cope with moving through the grief? These are just a few of the questions that we’ll be discussing with our guest today.
We have Collin Kingsmill with us, and he’s willing to share his experience. Collin was a successful banker in Switzerland, where he lived with his family. And he’s since moved, leaving everything behind. He now resides on Canada’s east coast. He also is a successful transformational coach. And we’ll also be hearing how he made that switch!


Here’s what we talk about:
Understanding that suicide isn’t an easy topic to discuss.Collin’s mom having an exit plan prepared. She didn’t want to be a burden on anybody. And wanted to leave in a dignified fashion on her terms. How do these exit plans work?Collin’s experience of knowing the date and time of her mother’s meticulously planned passing.The effects of the loss on Collin’s life. The struggles that mean deal with when it comes to grief.

She is also somebody who has personally experienced the loss of her mother. And this is certainly a club no one chooses to join. But it's important to shed light on the many challenges it can bring because it's not only the death itself, but it's many of the secondary losses.
