For the very first time, Brittany Maynard's husband talked about his wife's decision to end her own life before cancer did it for her.

A decision that gripped the nation.

“That's the thing is ... is you don't want to let go of your loved one," Diaz said. "But to suggest that she should suffer for me, for anyone? No. ... That's what you struggle with. Here's the person I love and I don't want to see her go.”

Maynard was diagnosed with a stage 4 glioblastoma last spring and was told she had six months left to live. She then decided to move to Oregon with her husband and mother to utilize Oregon's Death with Dignity Act.

She eventually started an online video campaign for Compassion & Choices with the intent of expanding death with dignity laws nationwide, a quest her husband and family continue to pursue today.
