The Closing Door Paradigm

    • Documentary

If you’ve ever lost a loved one, you know that grief can be hard to process. But what if you knew exactly how much time that loved one had left…because they chose it for themselves? In 2018, producer Emily Morantz’s grandmother chose to end her battle with cancer with a medically-assisted death (MAiD). In this deeply personal story, we push past the controversy of MAiD to explore the experience of grief—and what one decision can tell you about who a person really was. This is Emily’s paradigm.

*Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about death, illness, and suicide. *
