I couldn't let her suffer

Article Abstract:

Caring for someone who is great pain can be extremely distressing, according to Sophie Jones, who helped her mother, who was suffering from severe cancer, to die by giving her an overdose of morphine. Her mother had in earlier life helped her own mother to die under very similar circumstances. It is possible that such incidents are fairly common, but the vast majority go unrecorded, as the people responsible are very unwilling to confess.

Parting advice of Marje, the nation's agony aunt

Article Abstract:

Agony aunt Marjorie Proops, who died recently, dealt with many thousands of letters detailing people's problems over a period of more than 42 years. She talked openly about controversial subjects such as drugs and homosexuality, but always took care to remain sensitive. In later life, she confessed that her own marriage of 53 years was a sham, as she had for 30 years been having an affair.
