Martin, Sr. was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease, better known as ALS, in August 2019. He died only a month later. Over a thousand people would attend the wake and funeral in South Boston--after all, Kevin Sr. was a leader in the Southie community and in the Catholic Church, both as a business owner and family man. But Kevin Jr. struggled with a bottomless grief; neither his father's example nor his own faith as a permanent deacon in the Archdiocese of Boston fully equipped him to cope with the loss. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll Is Well\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of the good life well-lived and life lessons Kevin Sr. taught his son. It's a story of how Kevin Jr. moved from darkness to light after his father's death. It is a memoir that gives a roadmap out of grief, taking a path whose landmarks are the Beatitudes, family, miracles, baseball, rites of passage, bucket lists, and love; it offers insights into leadership, marriage, parenting, resilience, practicality, suffering, giving, forgiveness, joy, and savoring the little things. It paints a portrait of a servant leader, a consummate professional and family man, and sheds light on the up-close realities of ALS. It offers one exceptional father's example for how we can better live a life without regrets, how we can make the best of the time we have, and how we can do the most good with the journey we're given. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Part \u003ci\u003eTuesday's With Morrie \u003c\/i\u003eand part \u003ci\u003eTownie\u003c\/i\u003e, this memoir offers solace and a path for those who are experiencing or have experienced grief from losing a parent, especially to terminal illness.
