assisted suicide recording from ORegonlive.com

I just witnessed a real life assisted suicide via this audio recording in VisCom today. I had to keep my hand over my mouth to keep myself from getting choked up and starting to cry. The whole documentation was so unlike anything I've ever seen before. It was so powerful and so real; I had no idea that something like that could affect me the way that it did. The woman in the recording was so at peace and so content with dying, I could hardly believe it. I don't know why I am this way, but I have always had trouble with the thought of dying, and to see this woman so content before killing herself was just astounding to me. I look at the world like a little kid everyday and think how beautiful and how incredible it is, and to think someone could leave it intentionally to me is like walking out of the world's biggest celebration. You never no when live can surprise you. People always love you, there is beauty and goodness everywhere you turn. To be honest sometimes I feel like its hard to get away from it. I honor that woman however, I respect that she may be able to be so at peace with herself and to accept the pain of letting go. The whole thing was so surreal to me. I know that I'll have that experience with me for a long long time. May God bless her and everyone that has that courage to let go.
