Ich will selbstbestimmt sterben!

Everything is arranged - care, sitting yoga, residents' choir. But for Claus, life without his beloved wife has become pointless after 60 years together. His daily environment in the nursing home and his irrepressible will let a plan mature in him: He wants to go in dignity, as long as he can still decide. In the process, he has to learn that it is probably not the most natural thing in the world to be allowed to die in a self-determined manner. When his own father decides to die by fasting to death, those close to him walk a fine line between understanding and rejection: the author describes these contradictory feelings impressively. Diary entries by the father allow a glimpse into the emotional world of the person affected himself. A courageous book that encourages further discussion on the taboo subject of "self-determined dying".
