“Mum had a bad heart for many years. We therefore talked a lot about life ending at some point. For us in the family it was clear that Mum’s experience was that she had lived a long, exciting and meaningful life. She felt that she had and that she was ready. She was prepared and calm before death,” the family wrote in a statement.
“It is with sadness that I heard that Birgitta Dahl has passed away. She was a pioneer.
