Description

Irvin D. Yalom and Marilyn Yalom share a deeply personal and poignant story of love, loss, and the meaning of life in this heart-wrenching account of their experience with mortality. When Marilyn was diagnosed with cancer, the couple faced the ultimate challenge: Marilyn's desire to die with dignity, and Irvin's need to find a way to live without her. In alternating accounts of their final months together and Irvin's first months alone, they offer a rare and powerful exploration of how to cope with death and the loss of a loved one. Through their story, the Yaloms investigate universal questions of intimacy, love, and grief, drawing on their combined experience as a couple and as individuals. This book provides a source of comfort and insight for anyone facing the prospect of loss, and offers a powerful reminder of the importance of living meaningfully.
