Nigel, my darling husband, was a death for ten years. His feet dragged as the life dripped from him like water from a faucet, causing him to languish in a world where there is no mercy - his astute, tortured soul entombed in a frozen, paralysed body. He had motor neurone disease (MND) and feared the final stages, where he knew he would be both alive and dead. You have nothing if you had no choice. He's lucky,' he'll say. I get to choose how and when I die.'
