The question of death and life

The world-renowned psychotherapist and writer Irvin Yalom had many blessings in life - a loving family, a home in Palo Alto under a magnificent oak tree, a large circle of friends, devoted readers around the world, and a long and happy marriage. But even Irvin Yalom could not avoid encountering death when his wife Marilyn was diagnosed with cancer. With the wisdom of their years and endless love and respect, Irvin and Marilyn explore questions of intimacy and grief. Alternating between stories of their last months spent together and Irvin's first months spent alone, the Yalom spouses offer us a rare opportunity to face death and cope with the loss of a loved one. Drawing on the experience of two lives, this book will be a revelation and a source of support for those seeking comfort, solace, and a meaningful life. Irvin Yalom is a world-renowned American psychotherapist and writer. His novels "When Nietzsche Wept," "The Schopenhauer Cure," "Momma and the Meaning of Life," and "Lying on the Couch" have won the hearts of millions of readers and become bestsellers in many countries. Irvin Yalom is rightfully considered the pioneer of the genre of "therapeutic literature," which combines engaging plots with contemplation of life's main questions and a therapeutic effect.
