Hi Ta, 'When Breath Becomes Air' is my all time favorite memoir. It's soooo beautifully written and so incredibly poignant. I included it in my graduating mfa lecture. Also did you know that the author of the book 'The Bright Hour,' who also had a terminal diagnosis, told her husband before she died, that once she was gone, he should reach out to Lucy Kalanithi, as she would understand his experience. And I love this: the two widows ended up getting married!
