In January, 2020, Jennifer Sanfilippo's life was upended when her husband Jim was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. Thrust into the cancer battle against the backdrop of a roiling Covid-19 pandemic, Jim fought for his life while Jennifer fought to protect their family from the indignities of the healthcare complex.
Our Last Walk Home is an exploration of cancer treatment in the US, from diagnosis to death, through the lens of a widow's grief. This very personal, often painful and surprisingly funny narrative challenges the big questions of mental health care for cancer patients and families, patient centeredness in teaching hospitals, and our nation's cultural refusal to create useful dialogue and practices that support individuals through death and grief. With a heartfelt and generous telling, Jennifer guides the reader through her journey of hope and loss.
