Gottleib  Internationally renowned psychiatrist and author Irvin Yalom has devoted his career
to counselling those suffering from anxiety and grief. But never had he faced the need to
counsel himself until his wife  esteemed feminist author Marilyn Yalom  was diagnosed with
cancer. In A MATTER OF DEATH AND LIFE  Marilyn and Irvin share how they took on profound new
struggles: Marilyn to die a good death  Irvin to live on without her.  In alternating accounts

coping with death and the loss of one's beloved. The Yaloms had rare blessings - a loving
family  a beautiful home  a large circle of friends  avid readers around the world  and a long
fulfilling marriage - but they faced death as we all do. With the candour and wisdom of those
who have thought deeply and loved well  they investigate universal questions of intimacy  love

insights and solace to all those seeking to fight despair in the face of death  so that they
can live meaningfully.
