I held her hand & felt her relax, it was peaceful..torture of Dad's slow death was more upsetting

Why husband took sick wife to Dignitas  

- AMY-CLARE MARTIN

SHORTLY after this picture was taken, Angela Barrett drank a life-ending medication and died at Dignitas, aged 65.

For her husband of 36 years, Greg, her final moments were peaceful, relaxed and comfortable after two years of decline from a neurological disease.

It was a world away from his father's drawn-out death a few months later.

Looking at the final pictures of Angela at the right to die organisation in Switzerland, he said: "They just say it all.

They really do. She looked happy.

The last photo of dad Kenneth, 96, who had vascular dementia and looked like a "living skeleton", is too distressing for him to share.

Now Greg, of Uttoxeter, Staffs, is calling for Britain's law against assisted suicide to change.
