I am so glad that I won this book from the goodreads first reads give-away. It was a very heartfelt, poignant, honest, and inspring look at how Jai Pausch dealt with her husband's struggle with and ultimately his death from pancreatic cancer. She talks about the difficulty of being a caregiver to a dying loved one, the ifficulties, the pain, ups and downs, without romanticizing it. I was especially inspired by her decision not only to survive this tragedy, but also to thrive and find happiness and love again. And, as she relates, it was a decision, a very conscious decision; she didn't wait for the magic to find her again, she created her own magic. What an inspiration! However, I can't help but be reminded that not all of us have the resources she does - the paid for home, a live-in nanny, financial security so she didn't have to work, a large supply of family and friends willing to help out as needed to support her, etc. Those who survive a tragedy like this and thrive without those resources are the norm, and are the real unsung heroes. I also can't help but wonder how her new husband can live up the perfect legacy that her beloved deceased husband left. But still a wonderful story, highly recommended.
