A deeply moving story comes from Britain, where a 56-year-old woman has decided to end her life through assisted euthanasia in Switzerland.

It's about Wendy Duffy , who, although physically healthy and mentally capable, made this decision after the tragic loss of her only child in an accident.

In a statement to the Daily Mail , she says her life has lost meaning after this event, describing a constant pain and a void that cannot be filled. After a year of reflection and efforts to cope with the situation, she says she has made a conscious and final decision.

"I want to die and that's what I'm going to do. My life, my choice," she said.

According to reports, Wendy has informed her family of her intention, but without revealing details about the timing of the trip, to protect them from possible legal consequences in the United Kingdom.

Her request was reviewed by the Swiss Pegasos clinic, where a committee including psychiatrists gave approval after a lengthy process of evaluation and review of her medical history.

It is also reported that she had previously attempted to end her life, unsuccessfully, which prompted her to seek a controlled and legal procedure abroad.

The clinic in question operates as a non-profit organization, where patients cover the costs of treatment and related procedures.

Wendy chose to share her story publicly shortly before the trip, describing the decision as a conscious choice, made after a long process of personal reflection./ DailyMail
