But never had he faced the need to counsel himself until his wife, esteemed feminist author Marilyn Yalom, was diagnosed with cancer.

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.Informed by two lifetimes of experience,A Matter of Death and Lifeis an openhearted offering to anyone seeking support, solace, and a meaningful life.Read more
