What is a Medical Assistance in Dying Ceremony?

Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) is a process through which a doctor or nurse practitioner assists an individual, at their request, to intentionally end their life. MAiD is administered with the aids of drugs that can be taken orally or administered intravenously.

Our medical assistance in dying ceremony offers secular and universal rituals that can support the person dying, their loved ones, and their larger community. It can take place before, during, or after the death, and it even can incorporate folks who aren’t there physically so that they have an opportunity to express their grief and feel connected to the experience from afar.

Why is it Important?

We are becoming increasingly aware of the need for ritual and ceremony surrounding this experience. No matter what you believe or don’t believe in, there’s a role for ritual in the MAiD experience because it encourages us to process this experience with our mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness in mind.

Rituals can help the person who is dying, their loved ones, and the wider community feel have a sense of agency during a time that can feel chaotic and overwhelming. A ceremony can help people express their love and their grief in a specific, contained way, giving them an opportunity to process this experience on different levels.
