About this listen
“Beautifully written, complex, provocative, painful, genuine...an unforgettable memoir.”—ROXANE GAY
“Wonderfully lyrical and uncomfortably honest in a way that is so rare, yet so needed.”—JENNY LAWSON
“Disturbing and profound, this intimate book also reveals the sometimes-labyrinthine nature of the bonds that unite people in love...A provocative and memorable work.”—Kirkus Reviews
After years of struggling in a tumultuous marriage, writer Rebecca Woolf was finally ready to leave her husband. Two weeks after telling him she wanted a divorce, he was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. Four months later, at the age of forty-four, he died.
In All of This, Woolf chronicles the months before her husband’s death—and her rebirth after he was gone. With rigorous honesty and incredible awareness, she reflects on the end of her marriage: how her husband’s illness finally gave her the space to make peace with his humanity and her own.
Stunning, compelling, and brilliantly nuanced, All of This is one woman’s story of embracing the complexities of grief without shame—as a mother, a widow, and a sexual being—and emerging on the other side of a relationship with gratitude and relief.

big and complex emotions
Rebecca Woolf is amazing at expressing complex and controversial emotions remarkably gracefully and directly, unapologetically. Short, really good listen I just wanted to lie down, close my eyes and drink every word. Many times I paused and relistened, not because I lost track, but because I wanted to hear it again the sentences so full of meaning.

Breaking Free
I loved this memoir so much I couldn’t stop listening to it. It is such a raw and honest account of her experience of death, love, family and the pressures she felt from the patriarchy during such a transformative period in her life. My heart aches for them all and hearing her poetic account of her rebirth is stirring and just what I needed as I too, a middle aged woman, set out on my own with my child and a no longer present partner. It’s beautifully heartbreaking, feminine and inspiring. Thank you for sharing Rebecca.

Outstanding
I was overcome at the deliciously candid truths, and the raw, detailed metaphors that punctuate this story. A masterful and edgy story teller, a ferocious female voice, and an inspiration to wield your own truth mightily.
