Love in Sickness and in Health

Per Ericson, Editorial Writer at Svenska Dagbladet (one of Sweden’s biggest daily newspapers), passed away on 31 October, 2007 after a short period of illness. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Valentina, and two little girls who will forever miss their Daddy. Per Ericson was only 42 years old.

In her book, Love in Sickness and in Health, Valentina Ericson shares her experience with honesty and openness. She describes the first meeting with the man who becomes her life partner. She also describes the progression of Per’s illness and the first couple of years without him. This book is a gripping story about never ending love, about the deepest sorrow and about the art of surviving when everything around you falls apart. It is also a declaration of love and a tribute to a beloved husband who died much too early.
