Their thirty-five year marriage had been miraculously happy – until, in the last two years of Marilyn’s life, she descended into the pain and humiliation of motor neurone disease.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the wake of her death, Runcie stumbled in the dark. How do you make sense of the decline and death of the most alive person you have ever met?
