Dr Ginni has six days left with her mum before she passes away.

As Unleashers would know, Ginni’s mum is very ill and has been for a long time. She has made the decision to choose voluntary assisted dying.

This is Part 2 of Ginni and her mum’s story, if you missed Part 1, you can listen here. 

In this episode, Ginni opens up about life with a countdown on her mum’s life. From doctors' visits and the stark reality of someone’s final days, to the complicated family dynamics that don't simply disappear when the end is near.

Because losing a parent isn't always simple. Sometimes, the person you love and admire most is also the person whose approval you've spent your whole life chasing.

In your ears today is Cath Mahoney, Sally Hepworth and Ginni Mansberg
