"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.
