"What comes through is a clear-eyed faith, a sense of what cannot be shaken, a stability that is credible because it is hard-won and a faith-filled embrace of the risk and limitation that is inseparably part of our human identity before God. Jo Cundy is a sure footed guide through some very dark places; I'm grateful that she has been brave enough to map her journey in this way." -- Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury "This is a memorable book about a memorable journey. It's wonderfully honest and beautifully written, without sentimentality but with tenderness and grace. Jo Cundy's strong faith is evident as we are drawn in to experiences which are both deeply personal and yet universal. There are lessons about life, death and new life from which we can all richly benefit." -- Bishop John Pritchard, Bishop of Oxford "Jo Cundy is a person of immense spiritual, emotional and physical courage, and her story will inspire and encourage ... intensely moving ... A story that anyone who has ever lost a close loved one can immediately identify with, but it is also an adventure about life, love and God." -- Christina Rees, author and commentator "The degree to which the book moved me is a reflection of Jo's skill in drawing us into the journey she is travelling and the way in which the reality of God's presence is demonstrated ... It sets before us the reminder of the call to be a pilgrim, a companion, a purposeful traveller to an assured home." -- Justin Welby in his Foreword "Letting go of someone who becomes terminally ill stretches our humanity to its extreme. Even more so when that person is a life partner, a leading public figure and someone with a deep trust in the goodness of God. Yet Jo Cundy recounts an extraordinary story of faith with deep humanity and engaging hope." -- David Wilkinson BSc PhD MA PhD FRAS, Principal, St John's College, Durham "This very helpful book is about living deeply. The honesty with which it is written is both refreshing and challenging. Letting Go of Ian invites the reader to ask searching questions about their own journey and relationship with mortality." -- Bishop Victoria Matthews, Bishop of Christchurch, New Zealand
