A MATTER OF DEATH AND LIFE - IRVIN D YALOM MARI...

A year-long journey by the renowned psychiatrist and his writer wife after her terminal
diagnosis  as they reflect on how to love and live without regret. Internationally acclaimed
psychiatrist and author Irvin Yalom devoted his career to counseling 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 Irv share how they took on profound new struggles: Marilyn to die a good death  Irv
to live on without her. In alternating accounts of their last months together and Irv's first
months alone  they offer us a rare window into facing mortality and coping with the loss of
one's beloved. The Yaloms had numerous blessings-a loving family  a Palo Alto home under a
magnificent valley oak  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 wisdom of those who have
thought deeply  and the familiar warmth of teenage sweethearts who've grown up together  they
investigate universal questions of intimacy  love  and grief. Informed by two lifetimes of
experience  A Matter of Death and Life is an openhearted offering to anyone seeking support 
solace  and a meaningful life.
