They were childhood sweethearts who spent over fifty years building a life side by side, only to have it end with the pull of a trigger in a quiet hospital room. Ellen Gilland says she took her husband’s life because he asked her to, because he couldn’t take the pain anymore, and she couldn’t bear to watch him suffer. What followed was not only a death, but a four-hour standoff, a courtroom reckoning, and the unraveling of a love story that had lasted a lifetime.
