This story takes place at a house unlike any other in the United States. Each visit is facilitated by a death doula and there are no permanent residents. Terminally ill people visit the house to take a life-ending medication.
This project explores how some people choose to encounter their own death: from community and access, care-giving and medical aid, to the intimate process of dying and the tenderness of grieving.
While death often happens behind closed doors and in clinical settings, these photographs are an invitation to look at an inevitable aspect of life in a new way.
“Margaret went to hospital for a bad cold on the 13th of February. While she was there, they found stage 4 lung cancer. It had metastasized and it was everywhere, even in her brain.” Just two or so weeks after Margaret caught a cold from her grandson, everything had changed. She arrived at this house determined to die.
