So much respect for people who face their own imminent mortality with composure and then still find the heart to ask "What can I leave behind and how can I help others?"

I just finished Paul's beautiful book last night. Had a hard time sleeping afterwards, it was so moving! Thank you, Lucy and Paul's family, for making sure this book was published. I feel privileged to have shared your journey. Blessings to all of you.

The world missed out on a great surgeon and human being. Stuff like this breaks my heart

I truly loved this book and how they bravely faced his disease and death, it was very encouraging. My daughter was 2 when I was diagnosed with metastatic stage 4 colon cancer, and I just wanted to live long enough for her to remember me. She is now 10 years old, remembers me very well and I have been considered cured of advanced stage colon cancer. This is an incredible book.

After watching this video my problems vanished when I saw the courage and bravery of this couple. May he rest in peace and may his wife and baby know that they are in our prayers. I will now go out and buy this wonderful book.

Just finished your book, that My daughter gave to me 😢 i lost my true love Christopher to advanced stage 4 Pancriatic cancer in march 2017 he was 45yrs old , we didnt try to understand why us or dying ,we embraced that time we had and in those precious 12 weeks i had with him before he died in my arms were the most loving and fun because nothing else mattered but being together we were inseparable

So sorry that this talented young man lost his life to the horrible disease of cancer. I hope his passing was peaceful. I think we all need to understand death, as we will all pass through this process. We give so much emphasis to life that death becomes taboo. A lot of misery and anger is directed at death, but if our body is dying then, mentally, we need to embrace the process, not lose the precious time we have left berating our eminent death. We need to enjoy each day as it arrives, not only when facing death but now, in the present. That's what this brave soldier, who was facing death, was keen to pass on to us. I will buy his book as a token of respect for him, his lovely wife and his beautiful daughter.❤

Can't handle the interviewer constantly interrupting her!!! Such an amazing book and heartbreaking beautiful story.

They had a beautiful baby. So glad he could share so much happiness before he passed on.

I just read this book.. The most powerful book l have read.. As a physician we tell our patients about thier treatments and prognosis but to see it through the lens as a patient.. This has made me think about what is most important in life which l believe everyone should ask because we are all headed to the same inevitable end.... Death

The book is extraordinary.

"When breath becomes air" is really amazing. May he rest in peace .

Reading it. Stunning and moving. I mean besides the obvious value that this book shows courage and grace in the face of a painful death, this book is written so well. Each word is so well written...so precious and thought provoking. Thank you Paul. Your value is not lost. I am glad life brought this book to me. #Solidarity with Lucy & Paul’s whole family. What a remarkable life... well lived and so valuably observed. In service in life and death!

Incredible strength is wrought from the purity of goodness and love. Lucy and Paul are an incredible inspiration.

I just finished half of the book and it is truly amazing and inspiring. I learned a lot from When Breath Becomes Air. He was a very smart man. RIP Paul, thank you for sharing your experiences

His book made us feel like we all knew him and we were there with him..sad but triumphant...May PAUL’s legacy live on...RIP to a great mind and a beautiful soul!

R.I.P Paul.

I got this book for my daughter, who's aspiring medic. What a incredible journey in such a short period.

I have just finished reading "When breath becomes air" and wanted so bad to see you talking Lucy. Thank you for making the book published and your beautiful words in the Epilogue.. Paul was a brave man and so are all of you, his family members. Lots of love to Cady. 💜💙❤

Reading the book and appreciating it so much. May God rest him in eternal peace. Such a great and amazing book.

Just finished this book. The last column just brought tears.

pauls real life story would be a real inspiration to many to embrace life as it is and live as much as one can to the fullest >have read his book too A wonderful wook.. ,his daughter is so pretty .His wife has been so much of a support to him and must say paul was so blessed to have her in his life . ..When the daughter realises her fathers worth she would be proud remembering her dad

i admire you Lucy, its not just easy to face all of these especially your husband is not just an ordinary man and doctor, but more. if he is still alive i am sure he can help more people and inspire them with his books...its a great loss but his reflections gave us enlightment to face life and preparing for death

Thankyou for sharing this book with others! X

I just started reading his book. He would have become a great writer. Knowing that he wrote the book shortly before he died, it has intensified my emotions from the 1st page

I read this book a few days ago, and it deeply touched me and broke my heart.

The book is amazing.

It's a wonderful book. Thanks Dr Paul. Thanks Lucy.

Loved the book... Thank you for publishing it! "Wouldn't it be great if it did make it more painful?" I love it. The more meaning a life has, the more painful the loss... it's impossible to have one without the other. I love the wisdom peppered throughout the book.

Awe inspiring...so authentic...so human... It helped me understand... I can take a breath...now..after facing a loved one's death... especially the final breaths...

The book will rip your heart out and punch you in the gut at the same time. A must read for those who are not afraid to ponder their own mortality and are willing to ask themselves how will I respond when am told that my time is now very short. Paul and Lucy are courageous and loving people. Get the book and have plenty of tissues handy. You will use them.

Just reading his book at the moment. What a moving story of a very gifted and talented person. Hope his wife and daughter are given strength to cope with their life ahead without their husband/ father… 😢😢😢

respect to both of u great people ..lots of love

Just finished. Thank you Paul.

Beautiful. So inspiring

Just finished the book... what are your values? Stand up for them - a life without suffering is not necessarily the best life. Be worthy of your suffering. Paul - I salute you dear friend. The highest respect.

Very inspiring I read his book world has lost such a noble doctor and great human

RIP sorry for your loss 😓😥😒❤️🙏

Respect to Paul and Lucy, this book is phenomenal, it’s hard to imagine how doctors face death given they know what’s going on and have seen many deaths already.. not sure if it’s more helpful or by not knowing at least you have a false hope which could possibly ease the pain of facing it head on..

A beautifully written book! I challenge anyone who doesn't cry at the end....

most amazing book i read

So sad, RIP.

Moving but very inevitable. Death we will all face, peace to embrace when the call is imminent and the grace to say bye to family and friends when the time comes. Lead us heavenly father to your gracious bosom.

Excellent book

Rip Paul,So Sad😔😔

I cried a lot reading his book ... He was a good very doctor ,author and a father. But I guess no one can give us the meaning of life...

really sorry Dr paul, i just read your book ---i miss a chance to Pray for you while you are in treatment----i love You Dr

So sad to read this Lucy Kalanithi what a amazing talented clever guy what a loss. Look ahead possatively u got gorgeous candy.

Was there no warning signs or regular checkups, blood work or something that could have detected a problem before stage 4 ???

Love the book, spent much time gloomy reflecting on their situation; so sad. Can never forget ! ... and wait is that Cathy Newman..? :X

A very brave wise man. 🙏🏻

Tremendous book 😎😎😎😎

What if you knew for a fact that we all live thousands of incarnations? That we pass on to a much bigger and more permanent life after this one.

Where can I buy this book in Sydney Oz.

I have read This book and I had sensación to read a book by Schopenhauer .So much philosophy. Paul is talking About:Life, Profesion, Family, Love but not least of Death too

Just finished reading the book 😢❤

I am very sad 😢😢😢😢

Watched this after finishing the book

Rip doctor..

Why? God, Why?

Long Live Dr Kalanithi... !!!

Sad, why him?

Tôi đọc về anh, tôi đi tìm anh

I just heard about Paul story tonight from a solid book im currently reading called Remember Death :The Surprising Path to Living Hope.by Matthew McCullough. PLEASE Check it out . Wow Life is truly a vapor . Also check out my story in Good Mourning Joy by Baron Elias Klaif.

RIP Paul. ..No disease is beyond God's power to heal. That's one of the reasons Jesus came.

Pauses are very important in interviews. The host bombards with questions. Doesn't allow Lucy to complete her sentences 😑

Brothers and Sisters, God loves us so much that He sent His Son Jesus Christ for us to save us from our sins, and he bled and died on a cross for us to redeem us from death, and to gain life everlasting, for those who put their trust in him. And what's more, he has risen, and is willing to call you to repentance (correction) and as his witness, by his grace indeed. "For it is by grace you are saved, through faith". Jesus loves you, God cares for you!
