It’s been five years since Stanford neurosurgeon Paul Kalanithi’s death. Lucy Kalanithi and daughter Cady, now 5, have moved to a new home. Kalanithi fell in love again. But they still visit Paul’s grave, nestled at the edge of a field in the Santa Cruz Mountains. 

“Paul’s decision to look death in the eye was a testament to not just who he was in the final hours of his life but who he had always been,” she wrote in the epilogue. “For much of his life, Paul wondered about death — and whether he could face it with integrity. In the end, the answer was yes. I was his wife and a witness.”

Kalanithi continues to speak publicly about their family’s legacy, including a recent conversation with contributing editor Paul Costello at the San Mateo Public Library. They spoke about some of her memories of life after her husband’s diagnosis and what it means to move on after the death of a loved one.
