Eileen asked Will Schwalbe:

Hi Will. I have just recently read your book, and wish I had discovered it earlier. My daughter, who, like me, was an avid reader, was diagnosed with cancer in 2011 and died in 2015, aged 33. If I had read your book it would have helped some of our conversations...I did try to take the route of 'would you like to talk about how you feel?' Your book has a strong, relevant message about dying.

Will Schwalbe Hi Ellen. Thank you for writing me and for sharing something of your life. I'm so very sorry to hear that your daughter died of cancer so recently, and so very young. It means a lot to me to know that my book resonated with you. If it's not too painful or difficult, I would be very interested to know some of the books your daughter most loved, and some of the ones that have been most meaningful to you. Sending you my warmest best wishes, Will
