Caroline March

Content warning for assisted suicide



Just seen the announcement on Facebook that Caroline March passed away yesterday. I read her statement and it just made me cry, she was an incredibly brave, strong woman, who just could not deal with the dreadful injuries she sustained and chose the route of assisted suicide. I think I would have wanted to do the same tbh.

RIP Caroline.

Oh gosh that letter she left.

I have absolutely no idea how I'd be in her situation and I guess none of us do until it happens.

RIP Caroline.

Oh my goodness that’s unexpected….. rest in peace Caroline

 

[scats]

I read the post on FB and have thought of nothing else since. Such a brave decision and one that I can completely understand.

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Such sad news

 

[Rowreach]

That's such a brave and beautifully written post she made. I understand, and I hope she is at peace.

 

[Dave's Mam]

The letter.... RIP.

 

[teapot]

It's an incredibly honest letter - I hope she found peace with the decision

 

[EventingMum]

How sad, she obviously made a very considered decision, I hope she has found peace and her family and friends are ok.

 

[Ditchjumper2]

I saw that too. I have really felt for her. They both had awful life changing injuries but she suffered far more. RIP X

 

[Maddie Moo]

Rest in peace Caroline.

 

[PippiPony]

On her FB page there is the statement that she wrote. It explains it in there.

What a lovely article, it was clear they held her very dear.
RIP Caroline, how incredibly bravely she dealt with the hand she was dealt, so sad.

So sad, RIP Caroline

 

[Surbie]

I hadn't seen that. I'm glad she could leave on her own terms. I hope she is at peace and her lovely family are ok.

I was at Burnham when she had the accident. We'd watched her warm up and ride her dressage test, showjumping round and were going to catch some of the XC when we heard she'd had that horrific fall. She was so brave about sharing her recovery journey and honest about what she was left with.

RIP Caroline.

So upsetting...

Not the decision...her life. Her choices

But the cruel hand she was dealt

Balls of steel

 

[HopOnTrot]

I’ve been a reader of Melanie Reid’s “spinal column” in The Times for years, spinal injury, it’s not “just a wheel chair” it’s shit and Caroline was eloquent in her letter.

 

[Cragrat]

Brave and true to the end.

Thinking of her family and friends

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

So sad that someone decides to end their life BUT I think it's incredible that Caroline was able to make the choice for herself. A lot of people are not able to do so and are forced to live a life they don't want. I hope her family and friends are able to find peace with the choice she made, it sounds like she died as she lived...on her own terms x

 

[Denali]

My condolences to everyone who knew her. Fair winds to an obviously strong woman who lived life on her own terms until the end.

 

[Kadastorm]

Such a brave lady.
To have struggled with her mental health and found some understanding and control over that and then to suffer a horrific injury, I cant imagine how hard life has been for her.
I completely respect her decision and I hope she is at peace, and if there is another life we go on to, I hope she is riding fast across the country once again.
