Summary:
"In early 2020, as the world sunk into the pandemic, James Runcie and his wife
Marilyn
Imrie
were going through a different tragedy. After thirty five years of miraculously happy marriage, they learned that the painful, frustrating symptoms
Marilyn
had been experiencing for two years were a sign of Lou Gehrig's disease. In the wake of
Marilyn
's
death
in August 2020, Runcie stubled in the dark. How do you make sense of the decline and
death
of the most alive person you have ever met? And how do you go about buiding a life worth living in their absence? Now, in his startling and intimate memoir, James tells the story of
Marilyn
's illness and
death
--
in all its moments of tragedy, rage, and strangeness
--
while painting a vivid portrait of her life, in all its color, humor and brightness. And during that first year of loss, he awakens to the strange paradox of grief: that the way to survive
Marilyn
's
death
is to understand how very good she was at living. Tender, funny, and deeply true, the book is an unforgettable story of life before
death
and love after grief." --From the publisher.
