Louise’s Story

It was a warm spring day in April when Louise celebrated her 79th birthday at home, surrounded by her four children, their spouses, and nine grandchildren. She raised her children there in the home she shared with her husband for 48 years, until his death. It was there that Louise brought everyone together to entertain, to share food and wine and companionship. The home, like Louise, was at the center of her family and it was there with her family that she was happiest. And on that day they all shared joy and love, and celebrated a life well lived. Six weeks later Louise was gone.

For Monica, Louise’s eldest child, the pain is still fresh. When she talks about her mother you can hear the combination of love and loss in her voice. She never gave up hope that her mother would beat the cancer that eventually took her – after all Louise beat cancer twice before. Despite the loss Monica is still grateful that her mother’s last days were at home, surrounded by loved ones. She credits this to Louise’s use of medical cannabis.

“She wasn’t on it for that long,” says Monica, “but the time she was on it did wonders.”.........
