The Question of Death and Life

The world-renowned psychotherapist and writer Irvin D. Yalom had many blessings in his life — a loving family, a home in Palo Alto under a magnificent oak, a large circle of friends, devoted readers around the world, and a long happy marriage. However, Irvin Yalom could not avoid facing death when his wife Marilyn was diagnosed with cancer. With the wisdom of lived years and endless love and respect, Irv and Marilyn explore the questions of intimacy and grief. Alternating stories of their last months together and the first months spent by Irv alone, the Yalom couple offers us a rare opportunity to look death in the face and cope with the loss of a loved one.

Based on the experiences of two lives, this book will be a discovery and support for those seeking comfort, solace, and a meaningful life.
