Description: Seven Days of Shiva by Marc Gellman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The author searched deep into his soul to understand his wifes courage, and to find the answer: Can a forty-year marriage still have been magical, romantic, and filled with life, even with a thirty-year struggle with cancer? Publisher Description An unforgettable memoir about a romance that will make you smile, laugh, and cry - not always in that order.Seized with grief at the loss of his beloved and vibrant wife, Barbara, after a thirty-year battle with breast cancer, Marc Gellman does the only thing he finds he can do. He starts telling stories. This unique memoir is much more than a tribute to a departed love. Their story shows how a cancer journey seamlessly entwines through a four decades-long love story.A lifelong raconteur and jokester, Marc spent their forty-six-year relationship making Barbara laugh. Hed do anything to make Barbaras gorgeous face break into the cute, dimpled smile he first saw once upon a time, in 1964, when a fourteen-year-old boy from Brooklyn met a twelve-year-old girl from The Bronx and they fell in love. Surrounded by family and friends for seven days of sitting Shiva, Marc recounts his fairytale love story with Barbara, from their teenage meeting in the 1960s Rockaways summer scene, to being early marrieds in New York City, to suburban parenting, and to life as an urban couple relishing their empty nest. Once it appears, Barbaras courageous, grueling, determined, hope-filled fight against a brutal disease is unflinchingly depicted.With candor and humor, laughter and tears, Marc shares the tales of a life both wildly charmed and excruciatingly challenging. Theirs is a life full of parties and singing and celebration, and a life of hard work raising three lively children while managing two demanding, deeply rewarding careers. Its a life of playful adventures and hijinks, of making the most of every silly moment in even the most serious of times. A life of standing up to every challenge together, and dancing close whenever they can.Observing their singular, remarkable romance through "Shiva Eyes," Marc uncovers a depth to their love hed never fully grasped, and a strength in Barbara hed never fully understood. For all the trials that cancer brought into their lives, he discovers a happily-ever-after born of laughter, devotion, faith, and above all, a teenage puppy love that only grew with each passing year. Author Biography After a lifetime of working for others, Marc Gellman now works for himself. After more that forty years focused on architectural design and real estate development projects, Marc has launched several new careers: writing books, performing stand-up comedy routines, and creating and starring in "Benjamins Grandpa" videos. His future is all about accomplishing the fun stuff he always dreamed of doing. "In my youth, I was a silly kid. Lifes challenges and experiences influenced me to become a (mostly) serious-minded adult, and conformity was the only way to survive in the corporate world. With no one to answer to any longer, its time for the silly me to come out . . . with maybe just a little seriousness now and then." Marc grew up in the East New York section of Brooklyn, New York in the 1950s and 60s. As a young boy, Marc developed an interest in watching the construction of buildings and he went on to attend a school of architecture. On the day of his sixteenth birthday, Marc started his working career as a clerk at the Big Apple Supermarket on Church Avenue, Brooklyn. He earned maybe $1.25 an hour and made extra money from a side business he cooked up, ferrying groceries home from the market for elderly customers. Now . . . hes a proud author, a stand-up comedian, and grandpa to three grandkids.
