Cohen to discuss his first book and journey, ‘The Smooth River.’ Kirkus Reviews named it one of its Best Indie Books of 2021 and called it “a heart-rending but informative end-of-life guide!”

On Sept. 3, 2019, Richard’s life changed forever. The president of a mergers and acquisitions firm specializing in health care, Cohen could only bear witness as his wife, Marcia, was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. She died less than six months later, on Feb. 10, 2020, a month after turning 68. By then, Cohen had the idea for a book.The Smooth River demonstrates how to treat one’s life as bigger—and far more important— than any medical condition, any tragedy, any setback of any kind.

ABOUT:

The Smooth River demonstrates how to treat one’s life as bigger and far more important than any medical condition, any tragedy, any setback of any kind. The Smooth River is the remarkable story of how a well-known public relations expert and her husband met her stage 4 pancreatic cancer head-on. With vigor and strength, they deployed all they and medicine had to offer. But, in contrast to narrow conventional approaches, the couple developed a far more expansive view of what strength means in response to a crisis for which there are no medical cures. They called this the Smooth River.

This clear-eyed transcendent perspective was so vital that they wouldn’t let anything disrupt it—not cancer’s lethal march, not the strongest chemos and their failures to work, not the frequent episodes of severe pain, not how society expected them to think or act, not the process of dying itself. With effusive warmth, refreshing candor and practical detail, it describes how to personalize Medical and Life Plans that affirm the value of a patient’s being and guide their loved ones. Its invaluable lessons show how to face the possibility of dying with sanctity and comfort, to view it as an opportunity for personal growth, finding inspiration and intense beauty in the experience—in life itself. Richard wrote The Smooth River not as a medical or “art of dying well” expert, but as a peer of the reader, a peer of those touched by serious illness or other major problem.

The book’s purpose is to help other people. There are lessons in the Smooth River approach for everyone: https://www.smoothriver.org
