Summary

This could be our most touching episode yet! As a mother-daughter duo, we’d very much been looking forward to our interview with Marisa Bardach Ramel. Marisa and her mother, Sally Bardach, wrote The Goodbye Diaries together. It’s an honest, heartfelt, touching glimpse into the relationship between a mother and daughter, when the mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer. In the book, Marisa and her mother write alternating chapters voicing their individual fears, frustrations and connection to each other. The Goodbye Diaries offers an eye-opening look into both sides of a terminal diagnosis—the one who will leave and the one who will be left behind.
