This is a story of advocating for the one you love and the importance of resilience and courage in the face of trauma and adversity. The life, loneliness, anxieties, and needs of the long-term carer are examined. It provides a 'carer's eye view' of what quality of life is, and the value of palliative care at a time when the world embraces euthanasia. Above all, Second Life illustrates that love is everlasting.
