As someone who works in crisis mental health, very little moves me to my core anymore. This episode is different.

Ward opens up about one of life's most profound experiences – walking alongside his dad through Queensland's Voluntary Assisted Dying process and being there to hold his hand on that final day.

What you'll hear in Ward's voice isn't just advocacy – it's deep, personal conviction born from witnessing something sacred. He'll tell you how the process gave his dad something priceless in those last moments: dignity. This isn't an easy conversation, but it's one that matters.

Ward's story reminds us why having choice at the end of life isn't just about policy – it's about love, respect, and honouring the people we care about most.

Warning: This episode contains discussions about end-of-life decisions and may be emotionally challenging for some listeners.
