Dan Diaz and his wife, Brittany Maynard, took their dogs Charley and Bella for a walk the morning of Nov. 1, 2014, with their friends and family. Later that day, Maynard died.
Doctors found Maynard's brain tumor exactly 10 months prior, on New Year's Day. The couple had been married a little over a year at the time.
“We were just a regular married couple," Diaz, 53, said. “We’d go out for sushi on Friday nights.”
His sick wife asked him to kill her. He could never, but he can't shake the haunting memories.
Within days of her cancer diagnosis, Maynard decided she wanted to move from California to Oregon to gain access to the state's medical aid in dying program. Diaz followed her without question, knowing it was important to Maynard to die gracefully.
