Reading a Book

I am now reading a very interesting book
its about a guy whose mom has been diagnosed with cancer
the diagnosis is grim
but he deals with her treatments and with her dying
I wonder how I would have felt reading this while I was going through it with my dad
but now, I'm finding it very poignant
if anyone is interested, I am only a quarter way through
but recommend it and wonder how others will react to it

its called:   The End of your Life Book Club
and its by:  Will Schwalbe
