BRAVE JOURNEYS with TAMMI FARADAY
Rebecca Woolf - All of This
After years of struggling in a tumultuous marriage – successful writer & blogger Rebecca Woolf was finally ready to leave her husband, Hal. Two weeks after telling Hal she wanted a divorce, he was diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer. Four months later, at the age of forty-four, he died.
With inordinate courage & candour, Rebecca chronicles the months before Hal’s death — & her rebirth after he was gone.
In her book, All of This – A Memoir of Death & Desire- which is a stunning, provocative & masterfully nuanced read - Rebecca reflects on the end of her marriage & how her husband’s devastating illness finally gave her the space to make peace with his humanity & her own.
Ultimately, Rebecca’s journey is one woman’s story of embracing the complexities of grief without shame — as a mother, a widow, & a sexual being—& emerging on the other side of a relationship with gratitude & relief.
