The guest, Joe DiNardo, wrote this book to share anecdotes about his relationship with his late wife, Marcia, after she was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer. The book primarily features a letter he wrote to her as a form of catharsis, which he later read as her eulogy.
He wrote a book, it's a letter to his wife and you're going to hear him speak about why he did it and you're going to hear some, as I said, it's really an honor, it was an honor to sit with him and talk about this stuff and I think it's going to be very useful to anybody who listens to it so I give you Joe DiNardo.
And so I asked my friend Charles Coplman, who would you ask to help you put this together? He had lost his wife to Bankradic Cancer as well. He said my daughter and law Amy Coplman is a writer and she can help you. So I called Amy up, sweetheart of a person.
It's fundamentally the letter which is a couple of pages and then various chapters about me and about my wife and about us and things like that.
I write this letter tonight on tear-stained paper. My heart lies in pieces on our bedroom floor but I wanted to share something with you before you go on your journey.
