    I Know The Day My Mum Is Going To Die: Dr Ginni's Special Series

    26/09/2026 | 34 mins.
    We’re bringing you a very special episode from Mamamia’s Gen X podcast, Unleashed.
    The Quicky has covered Australia’s voluntary assisted dying laws, but this three-part series looks at VAD from a deeply personal perspective.
    Unleashed co-host Dr Ginni Mansberg shares the story of her mum’s decision to choose voluntary assisted dying, and what it was like to navigate that experience as both a doctor and a daughter.
    The series follows Ginni and her family from one month before her mum’s death, to six days before, and then one week afterwards.
    This is Part One.
    Listen to Part Two and Part Three here.
    Please take care while listening. This episode discusses voluntary assisted dying, death and grief. If this conversation brought up hard feelings and you need some help, please call Lifeline here.
    In your ears today is Cath Mahoney, Bruna Papandrea and Ginni Mansberg
    Check out our Unleashed music playlist for some feel good throwbacks!
