The wife of the late, great Ron Barassi, Cherryl, says she no longer wants to live. Ron Barassi, one of the AFL ’s most iconic figures, died last September at the age of 87, and now Cherryl has revealed she too wants to die. Cherryl Barassi says she is not depressed and is “grateful for the life” she has had. “I’ve had a look at my future and I don’t like it,” she told The Age. “I’m not depressed, I’m just sick and tired of being sick and tired.
The laws state that a person can ask for voluntary assisted dying if they are in “the late stages of advanced disease can ask for a medication that will bring about their death”. But the laws clearly state that “not everyone is eligible and there are strict conditions”. Cherryl says does not qualify, but she believes that it is wrong. “I want Victoria to be world’s best practice,” she said. “My family and my husband have all been absolutely onside with the principles of dying with dignity.
