They got engaged on Aaron's hospital bed and married after his first surgery. They had a baby when he was on chemo. They shared an amazing summer filled with happiness and laughter. A few months later, Aaron died in Nora's arms in another hospital bed. His wildly creative obituary, which they wrote together, touched the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, Nora shares hysterical, moving, and painfully honest stories about her journey with Aaron. \u003cem\u003eIt's OK to Laugh\u003c\/em\u003e explores universal themes of love, marriage, work, (single) motherhood, and depression through her refreshingly frank viewpoint.
