But never had he faced the need to counsel himself until his wife, esteemed feminist author Marilyn Yalom, was diagnosed with cancer. In \u003ci\u003eA Matter of Death and Life\u003c\/i\u003e, Marilyn and Irv share how they took on profound new struggles: Marilyn to die a good death, Irv to live on without her.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInformed by two lifetimes of experience, \u003ci\u003eA Matter of Death and Life\u003c\/i\u003e is an openhearted offering to anyone seeking support, solace, and a meaningful life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Irvin D.
