Cynthia Clark guided her family through the MAiD experience in 2019 when her husband
was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. For nearly a year she was his caregiver &
advocate, while simultaneously guiding her children, then 6 and 8 years old, through his
decision to have a medically assisted death. It was their family’s mission to normalize death,
include the children, and live until it was time to “quit while it was still fun”. Cynthia and her
family shared their journey very openly and publicly and continue to use their experience of
illness, MAiD, and celebrating death with kids, to help others navigating the MAiD
experience with children. Cynthia has a degree in business administration, is a trained coach
and seasoned advocate for many causes that she is passionate about. She is a board
member of The MAiD Family Support Society (formerly Bridge4you), a member of the
planning committee for her local dying with dignity chapter, and an author of an upcoming
support book for loved ones living a MAiD experience. In her free time Cynthia enjoys cross
country skiing, hiking, writing, and watching her kids play sports.
