After spending a lifetime together, Irvin and Marilyn Yalom confront in alternating chapters the reality of Marilyn's terminal cancer diagnosis. From Irvin's work in psychotherapy examining our fear of death, compounded with personal experience, this book seeks to answer questions that we all hold about the end of our lives: How much are we willing to bear to stay alive? How can we end our days as painlessly as possible? How can we gracefully leave this world to the next generation? A profoundly moving, tender and loving memoir.
