  • From the Archives: Jessie's Story
    Jun 20 2025

    In March 2018, Jessie Ravnsborg was diagnosed with ALS. She was just 35 years old. She died just before her 37th birthday. In today's episode, our second about Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), you’ll meet Jessie through her mom, Heather Lucier. This is a story about choosing joy, about wringing out all the good from life that you can for as long as you can and, when the joy can no longer compete with the darkness of a most insidious disease, choosing to say goodbye. It's about facing your mortality, about knowing what matters to you in life and about the bravery of understanding what it means when those things move beyond your reach.

    This episode of Sorry, I'm Sad was originally published in March, 2022. We are reposting it in advance of our next episode, which is a new episode with Jessie's mom, Heather, about ALS advocacy, what we owe the people we've lost and caregiving.
