 When Medical Aid in Dying Comes at the End of Life: A Qualitative Research on Relatives’ Perspective 
T his article aims to describe the experience of families in the context of a request for medical assistance in dying (MAID) in Quebec. It is based on a qualitative research carried out as part of a memoir in social work. The data collected through semi-directed individual interviews, carried out with 7 adults bereaved by people who died after having requested MAID, are then detailed. The analysis shows the effects of the transmission of information on the well-being of families, the impacts of the Quebec Act respecting end-of-life care on families and relational issues through this highly emotional journey. These results are then discussed in relation to the issues for professionals, including the importance of their role with families throughout the MAID process. Impacts in terms of promotion of psychosocial follow-up and the place of relatives can be envisaged.
