A Matter Of Death And Life

This memoir offers a profoundly personal and raw account of Irvin D. Yalom and his wife Marilyn Yalom's shared experience as Marilyn faced a terminal illness and chose physician-assisted death, marking a departure from Yalom's earlier clinical explorations of death.

The book provides an intimate, first-hand exploration of grief, autonomy, and confronting mortality, demonstrating how existential philosophy can be lived and applied in the face of ultimate loss, rather than merely theorized.
