"He wasn’t choosing to shorten his life—he was choosing to shorten his death." Lottie Clarke on the Fight for Assisted Dying
Welcome to The Life of Bryony, where we tackle life’s toughest challenges head-on. GUEST: LOTTIE CLARKE In this deeply moving episode, Bryony Gordon speaks with Lottie Clarke about her husband James’s devastating motor neurone disease diagnosis and his decision to travel to Switzerland for an assisted death. Lottie shares the emotional toll of supporting James’s choice while navigating the complexities of family life, grief, and a system that left them feeling powerless. This is a powerful story of love, resilience, and the fight for the right to choose a peaceful end. Lottie’s courage highlights why open conversations about death, dignity, and autonomy are so vital.
