Because I Loved You is a breathtaking memoir by Stephanie Duran that begins as a once‑in‑a‑lifetime love story and unfolds into a courageous, heartbreaking journey through terminal illness and, ultimately, death. As Stephanie and her partner confront the realities of a life‑limiting diagnosis, they face an agonising yet deeply considered decision to pursue a voluntary assisted death. Through her story, Stephanie invites the reader to reflect on love, dignity, and choice, asking with profound tenderness: “What if the greatest act of love… was letting go?”
