  • Summary: In this audio piece the audience visits the Netherlands and listens to a way of dying in dignity. We tell the story of how the Dutch may have found an alternative for unneccessary suffering and visit Ms. Walburg de Jong at an organization in the heart of Amsterdam. We hear father Simon Evers, counselor at one of the larger hospitals who accompanies the dying on request. We also hear Sytze van der Zee a former journalist and author who wrote a book about his mothers dying. Finally we hear Karen who was at her fathers bedside when he decided that his suffering was not bearable anymore.
